• Building the business case for the deployment of chargers and grid upgrades, bringing together local stakeholders and futureproofing your investment
• Weighing up the advantages of being “demand led” or proactively building for projected demand
• Integrating electric public transport into your charge point and energy strategies
• Understanding the long-term maintenance considerations for on street residential charging infrastructure

• A behind the scenes look at how state governments, towns and cities are approaching transport decarbonisation; from the subsidies and policies that are encouraging EV uptake, to powering the charging infrastructure and deploying supporting energy technology
• What are the challenges for municipalities working with local utilities to establish grid connections, and how can they build better relationships?
• Will State – wide electric vehicle bans had the intended impact? Assessing how bans in states like California after 2035 have affected attitudes
• Insight into cities’ strategies to cater for workplaces and design on-street charging to provide those without private off-street parking with charger access

• Examining on-street parking solutions for residents with no access to private parking.
• How changes to building codes can help build a citywide charging infrastructure
• Looking with whom the maintenance and repair of  infrastructure lies

• With transportation responsible for a third of Illinois' carbon emissions, electrification is a key part of achieving decarbonisation as well as improving air quality.
• A deep dive into how Illinois is addressing the five key roadblocks to installing charging infrastructure: Planning, Collaboration, Flexibility, Funding & Education.
• Addressing the cost barrier of EV infrastructure; how can you build a strategy that addresses both capital and operating expenditures?

• Building a new, or retrofitting an existing, depot to be able to support EVs with an increased dwell time to charge, and a potential need for more frequent recharging
• Working with local utilities to establish grid connections and understand capacity demands, and addressing the challenges of working with utilities in different states
• Accounting for the costs to install charging and energy infrastructure and how to finance them

EVs are like a mobile energy distribution system for nodal, decentralized energy communities. In highly regulated environments like most of the U.S., EVs and charging infrastructure enjoy interactive energy freedoms inaccessible otherwise. Let’s explore, on live international examples, how we can drive demand management, load shifting, emergency power, REC generation, customer loyalty, and grid flexibility services while guaranteeing “green charging” to those who want to know their EV is doing what they bought it to do.

• Explore the 12 levels of engagement that EVs can have with real estate assets.
• See, on live examples, how EVs super-charge our transition to the clean-energy future.
• Ascertain what technology enables that was not possible before both behind- and in-front-of-the meter.
• Identify the degree to which you may be able to activate EVs in your project.

• Understanding the latest business models to deploy infrastructure
• Identifying fund’s perspective of risk, and how businesses can make their projects more investable
• How can organisations make their bid more attractive, to raise their chances of being accepted?
• Discussing how more private capital can be deployed in the EV sector

What is the future of short-range aircraft and how can it change the way airports operate?  We will take a look at emerging electric aircraft, how far the technology has come, and what affect it will have on airport operators and their business plan.  We will also look at expectations for traffic development and how utilities and airport charging infrastructure will be affected with this new business model.

• • 5G, AI, and Blockchain enable connected EVs to autonomously transact with charging stations and grid infrastructure
  • Web 3.0, the next generation of the world wide web, delivers new tools to secure these transactions and opens new opportunities for optimization, monetization, and decentralized energy storage
