If you are a first-time attendee or still on the fence about registering, we hope you'll join us for this sneak peek preview.  We'll review the agenda and activities planned, suggest ways to make the most of the learning and networking opportunities, and answer your questions about the event. The Rocky Mountain Utility Exchange is a networking and professional development forum for utility and government organization staff as well as industry allies. The target audience is the staff of energy utilities serving Colorado and neighboring states who are responsible for the design and delivery of customer-centric utility programs, including resource efficiency/sustainability, load management/growth, distributed energy, and customer/member service operations. The agenda is developed from submissions through a call for presenters that are reviewed by a Scoring Group comprised of the Advisory Committee and sponsor organization representatives.Support the show
