But with that flexibility comes a new kind of risk; one that may not show up until it’s already in motion.This interactive workshop places you into the middle of it. \nThrough a guided\, scenario-based experience\, you’ll step inside RiverCity Utilities\, a fictional utility navigating the challenges of a decentralized grid. As the situation unfolds\, you will explore where cyber risks show up across DERs and customer programs\, how quickly they can escalate\, and what decisions matter most when the pressure is on. \nAlong the way\, we’ll break down the “why it matters” behind cybersecurity (without getting technical or overly complex) so you can connect the dots between systems\, risk\, and real-world impact. \nThis session is designed for energy professionals who don’t sit in cybersecurity roles but are increasingly a part of the conversation. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of where cybersecurity intersects with your work and the confidence to engage in those conversations effectively. \nYou’ll leave this session able to:• Identify where cybersecurity risks are most likely to occur across DERs\, demand flexibility programs\, and connected grid technologies.• Explain how cyber incidents can impact utility operations\, customer experience\, and market participation.• Describe key processes and activities that occur during a cyber event at a high level.• Recognize decision points where non-cyber leaders play a role in response and risk management.

This interactive pre-conference session is designed to help you build a strong foundation in demand response (DR) and virtual power plants (VPPs)\, and understand their growing role in today’s evolving energy landscape. Through real-world examples\, guided discussion\, and hands-on activities\, participants will explore how DR programs work\, how VPPs aggregate distributed energy resources into dispatchable grid assets\, the technologies that support them\, and the role customer participation plays in grid flexibility and reliability. \nWhether you work for a utility\, implementation firm\, consultancy\, technology provider\, or are simply looking to expand your understanding of grid-interactive programs\, this session will provide practical context and terminology — from foundational DR concepts to the mechanics of VPP aggregation — to help you engage more confidently in flexibility conversations throughout the conference. \nYou’ll leave this session able to: \n\nDescribe the foundational concepts and purpose of demand response and demand flexibility programs within the modern electric grid\, including how and why the industry is evolving from event-based DR toward broader\, continuous flexibility strategies.\nDifferentiate between common types of demand response and demand flexibility programs and their applications.\nIdentify key technologies and customer engagement strategies used to support demand flexibility initiatives.\nExamine how demand flexibility contributes to grid reliability\, resilience\, resource adequacy\, and the integration of renewable energy at scale.\nApply foundational demand flexibility concepts to real-world program examples and industry scenarios you are likely to encounter in your work.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ”Jordan\n ”Director \n Jordan brings over fifteen years of consulting and research experience in the energy sector.
