How do you learn about the new technologies that will help you move forward your next project or idea to improve your electric, water or gas distribution grid? You can attend webinars, listen to podcasts, watch videos, read blogs or take part in a LinkedIn group, to name just a few.

But while these are useful and important ways to learn, they don’t provide a way to personally connect with peers, share stories and experience the latest products and technology developments. That’s why you need to attend Aclara Connect 2017 (#AclaraConnect)

Here are 6 reasons to mark your calendar, register and book your trip
