Exhibition Floor Plan Table top Stand Examples Live Demo Labs The Live Demo Lab rooms are set up with a boardroom table and chair, a flip chart, LCD-screen, ADSL internet connection, and WiFi Internet access. If you are involved in the Live Demo Labs, one week before the conference we will send you a list of registered attendees and ask that you select 10 that we pre-arrange meetings with on your behalf. We will do this by introducing your company and product offering and requesting a 15- minute meeting primarily during the refreshment/lunch breaks. We will schedule meetings at 30-minute intervals to allow for over running. On the day of the event, one of our team will be dedicated to liaising with the meeting attendees and accompanying them to your meeting room in good time for their sessions. 4

Testimonials from Past UtiliNet events: Excellent forum to meet peers from the DSO scene in Europe for the exchange of ideas, experiences and best practices in the field of telecommunications for power distribution grids. Jürgen Tusch, Head of Telecoms - Innogy A great opportunity to meet utilities from all over Europe, and to hear about their plans to upgrade their networks to support packet based services. Interesting to see different migration strategies and how utilities adapted to that. The conference was very well organized. Exactly according to plan. High quality presentations which fully covered the different challenges in the industry. Børre Jensen, Manager of Network Department - BKK Fibre It was a great conference since the most relevant and challenging areas for many energy utilities were thoroughly addressed. We came home with great insights! Nuno Medeiros, ICS and Smart Grids Security Officer - EDP Distribution A very worthwhile and valuable event. It was well run and it has allowed me to learn and share my knowledge, and develop networking. Pedro Gama, Head of SCADA and Telecom Department - EDP Distribution The excellent preparation of the event created the best conditions for sharing experiences, benchmarking and networking. Rui Franco, Managing Director - REN TELECOM Once again Phoenix Forums presented a high-quality conference focused on one of the most important challenges for utilities.

Aurelio Blanquet, Head of SCADA and Telecom Department - EDP Distribution This event has helped with an interactive approach to the solutions used or available to leverage an effective and reliable implementation. Jamie Nogueira, Project Manager - EDP Distribution To see what companies do and how they think about future challenges. Also the tele-protection in MPLS network. Tests and experience. Denis Anusic, System Engineer - E.ON Great focus. For the first time a conference focused on packet technology in the utility. Dominique Verhulst, Head of Business Development for IP Division - Alcatel-Lucent Thanks for inviting Cisco, it was a good use of my time and Cisco resources.
