Berkeley-Stanford CleanTech Conference on Smart Grids: Smart Grid: Vision, Opportunity, and Effectiveness

Conference/Symposium | November 13 | 12-7 p.m. |  SRI Auditorium


333 Ravenswood Avenue, Menlo Park,

Berkeley Columbia Executive MBA Program


The fourth in a continuing series of Berkeley-Stanford CleanTech Conferences (BSCC) will focus on the past, current and future state of the Smart Grids from a technical, policy and business point of view. This conference is sponsored by the Stanford University Energy Crossroads, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and the Berkeley Columbia Executive MBA Program. For participants, this is an excellent opportunity to network and hunt for opportunities in this rapidly emerging field.

Capturing the full scope of technological development related to grid-level and user-level energy management will give conference participants a wide view of the range of applications that fall under Smart Grid technology. Presenting applications that are still at early stages of basic research alongside those that are already being deployed commercially will provide a forward-looking view of the direction of Smart Grid development, and the role it can play in the near future and long-term.

The conference will have a good mix of attendees from students, VC’s, CleanTech startups, government, CleanTech law firms and more. Confirmed panelists include:

• Andrew Tang: Senior Director, Smart Energy Web, Pacific Gas and Electric Company
• Andrew Campbell: Senior Energy Advisor, CPUC
• Erfan Ibrahim: Technical Executive at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
• Alex Beavers: Corporate Director, SRI International
• Jordan Breslow: General Counsel, Silver Spring Networks
• Mike Gravely: Research Manager - Energy Systems, California Energy Commission
• Nate Ota: Consumer Solutions Product Marketing Manager, Trilliant
• Rick Geiger: Director of Engineering, Cisco Systems
• Alex Beavers: Corporate Director, Stanford Research Institute (SRI) International
• David Meyers: Director of Business Development – Western Region, EnerNOC
• Craig Lawrence: General Partner, Accel

The Berkeley-Stanford CleanTech Conference Series is a student-led organization founded in 2007 to bring together students at the Engineering, Business and Policy schools at Stanford University and UC Berkeley as well as key members of the academia, policy and business community in the Bay Area and beyond. Each conference discusses focused CleanTech topics from the technology, business and policy standpoints, to find long-lasting solutions to climate change and other current energy challenges.
