See innovation in action as teams from each UAI Innovation Challenge Zone take the stage to present their Innovation Action Blueprints—practical solutions developed through collaborative problem-solving around some of the utility industry’s most pressing challenges.
Teams will share their recommendations, key takeaways, and opportunities for continued industry collaboration before turning it over to the audience to vote for the ideas they believe have the greatest potential to advance the utility industry.
Then, during the Closing General Session on Thursday, October 22, we’ll celebrate the collective work of the Innovation Labs by announcing the Innovation Recognition Awards, including:
Most Innovative Idea
Most Actionable Recommendation
Greatest Potential Industry Impact
People’s Choice Innovation Award.
Plan to stay through the conclusion of UA Week to celebrate the ideas, collaboration, and innovation that will help shape the future of utility analytics—and see how the work started in the Innovation Labs will continue through UAI Communities and future industry initiatives.
