Bill Ablondi, Director of Home Systems Research from Parks Associates is speaking at the 2010 ConnectivityWeek.

Bill is moderating the panel, "Understanding Residential Energy Management" on Wednesday, May 26th from 3:30 - 5:00 PM. The race to connect homes to the grid is heating up. With an estimated 20 million meters installed in North America through 2009, utilities are reaching out to consumers to help shift loads through dynamic pricing and demand response programs. Getting consumers engaged will require a new generation of consumer products that are intuitive, affordable and practical. This panel will discuss the market opportunity and various approaches underway to cultivate this emerging market.

Parks Associates is also a supporting organization for ConnectivityWeek.
