Speakers will be announced soon but among them are some of the most esteemed branding experts in the world, CEO’s and experts in the field of energy branding and marketing.

Topics covered:

In the past the utilities had the simple task of connecting electricity to a meter in the basement. With the liberalization of energy markets the utilities need to connect to the consumers' minds and gain a share of their hearts. Branding is the key to gain understanding of the consumer and create a mutually beneficial relationship. We are going to see a revolution in the energy market, similar to the leap the telecommunication market took 20 years ago. The utilities need to take the leap into branding before a super brand from other industries enters the space.

Dr. Fridrik Larsen, CEO of LarsEn Energy Branding and chairman of Charge
