Registration for the Fifth National Town Meeting
on Demand Response is open!

It will be held in Washington, DC, on Monday and Tuesday, June 2 & 3, 2008, at the Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel. The event will build upon the first four National Town Meetings on Demand Response that have been widely acclaimed for bringing together the demand response “community”—if you are part of that community or want to be, don’t hesitate to sign up and attend!

The National Town Meeting on Demand Response, presented by the Demand Response Coordinating Committee, is noted for devoting a full day to its actively-moderated open “roundtable” format, where invited speakers—including national policymakers and government officials—interactively address the audience as part of a larger conversation. This year, the event also will feature an additional full day of traditional sessions where experts from various parts of the DRCC community will give presentations on the latest developments in the world of demand response and smart grid.
