What is the Power Smart Forum?

The Power Smart Forum is British Columbia’s leading energy conservation conference. Prospective delegates, speakers and exhibitors can anticipate a day of information sharing opportunities, including breakout and workshop sessions facilitated by leading industry experts from across North America.

What are the benefits for my business and why should I attend?

The Power Smart Forum inspires BC businesses to become leaders in energy conservation. Broader sustainability considerations are also discussed.

The theme for 2011, Resilience & Adaptation: Adjusting to a Changing Climate, looked at the impact of a changing climate on the business environment and consumer lifestyles both in British Columbia and beyond. The 2011 theme explored the need and demand for adaptation and mitigation strategies, like energy conservation and energy efficiency, and the role they can play as our economic, social and community environments continue to change.

The Power Smart Forum is open to BC Hydro’s business customers, industry professionals and subject matter experts. Due to the popularity of the Power Smart Forum in recent years, some sessions may have limited access in 2013.
