COLUMBUS, Ohio – From March 5 – 8, 2023 in Bonita Springs, Fla., ARCOS® LLC will host more than 60 utility companies and their managers and executives for the 20th-annual EMPOWER event, a networking and educational conference that helps utilities accelerate their digital transformation.
“What began 20 years ago with a handful of utilities in a conference room at Southern Company is now a one-of-a-kind event for reimaging how electric, gas, water and power-gen plants can use workforce management solutions to operate more safely, efficiently, and profitably,” says Odus “Boogie” Wittenburg, chief executive officer of ARCOS.
The EMPOWER 2023 agenda includes American Electric Power’s session tracing the utility’s 2022 journey to maximizing the connectivity and situational awareness of its field employees. AEP will highlight how it’s delivering workers one mobile app for construction and restoration work. Following the conference keynote will be 30 sessions over three days led by utility professionals and ARCOS experts.
Speakers from utilities including Avangrid, ConEd, Connexus, Eversource, FirstEnergy, and Southern Company will present alongside ARCOS industry experts, covering the following and much more:
- moving rapidly from blue-sky to gray-sky work by automating the management of resources,
- supercharging response and crew productivity by pulling operational data into one system for analysis and action,
- arming managers with best practices for putting field mobility tools into workers’ hands,
- integrating the Multispeak standard when implementing ARCOS Callout and Crew Manager,
- showcasing the power of a technology platform that delivers a single pane of glass from which to analyze operations, anticipate needs, and expedite response.
