As a field operations person, it is amazing to see what
is changing in our industry.
—Larry Robinson, Tucson Electric Power Company
Mobile Utility Summit was a great experience. The ability
to hear and share experiences with other utilities is always
a good opportunity. The event was very well organized
and allowed lots of time to interact with vendors and other
utilities… looking forward to attending next year.
—Adam Casciato, PowerStream, Inc
I really enjoyed hearing & seeing what other utilities of a
similar size are doing with mobile technology. Also hearing
their trials and tribulations in making mobility a success for
their business.
