1. What’s NEXT? Futurism & Tech
Hear about trends and challenges that will shape the next decade. What technologies will play an increasingly important role to co-ops and businesses? Electric co-ops are under pressure to deal with new electricity demands, as well as broadening their services into economic development; and co-op business partners are dealing with the tensions surrounding data centers and AI; what if there were synergies to be had, where everyone “does good by doing good”? How can technologies improve reliability and enhance energy capacity? How can co-ops and businesses best apply data for their day-to-day operations now and for their infrastructural planning for the future? And how can host communities benefit from the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
