To keep pace with the evolving nature of our industry, Itron Utility Week is being renamed to Itron Inspire. As we move forward, we want to make sure that our conference is focused on exploring the possibilities for a better connected, sustainable and resourceful future.

Itron Inspire will still offer the same great experience you've come to expect—insightful keynotes, thought leadership panels, breakout sessions, networking, training and so much more—to share perspective and best practices. We want you to leave our event feeling inspired and hopeful about what the future holds for our industry—and how we, collectively, can leverage technology and services to drive business transformation, enhance customer engagement and unlock innovation.
