NOLA Bound: Itron's Annual Energy Forecasting Meeting

January 03, 2024

Registration is open for Itron's Annual Energy Forecasting Meeting and Training in New Orleans on March 12-15, 2024. We’re finally NOLA bound! This marks our 23rd year of fostering collaboration, idea sharing and problem solving in the field of forecasting. The invaluable connections made at these gatherings have consistently proven to be of the utmost value to forecasters.

While the meeting is primarily long-term focused, there are common issues and new methods for all forecasters to benefit. Your participation is invaluable to the success of this event, and we look forward to creating a meaningful and productive experience for all attendees.

  • One-Day Modeling Workshop - Introduction to Forecasting and SAE.
  • One-Day Modeling Workshop - Advanced Long-term Forecasting.
  • Annual Forecasting Meeting - Two-and-a-half days of topical presentations and discussions.
