Rising energy demands. Tightening regulatory standards. Increasing Outages. Reducing Risks.
In the Energy and Power industries, these are just a few of the key challenges facing organizations today. How are you and your organization positioned to, not only overcome these challenges, but secure your fast track towards profitability?
With trillions of dollars worth of assets at stake, plant owners and operators realize that operating profitably is as important as the initial cost of price paid. NSSS (Nuclear Steam System Supply) and EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) firms responsible for plant design and construction are under increasing pressure to maintain and build plants that are efficient while meeting strict regulatory standards. With major components being outsourced and the obligation to maintain plants over decades of continuous operation, many progressive organizations are turning to innovative technologies including Plant Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions to address these challenges.
Hear real-world stories from organizations such as Xcel Energy's Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, ITER and Entergy's Waterford-3 Nuclear Plant. You'll understand their unique technological approach and how they were able to advance their pursuit of innovation by integrating business process management with cutting-edge tools for design, engineering, maintenance and project planning. Plus, hear from our featured keynote speaker, Patrick Moore, Ph.D and Co-Founder of Greenpeace.

Patrick Moore, Ph.D., Co-Founder of Greenpeace
Dr. Moore will discuss how the critical role of Nuclear Power will play in our future and why the industry must adapt digital technology to support it.
Dr. Patrick Moore has been a leader in the international environmental field for over 30 years. He is a founding member of Greenpeace and served for nine years as President of Greenpeace Canada and seven years as a Director of Greenpeace International. As the leader of many campaigns, Dr. Moore was a driving force shaping policy and direction while Greenpeace became the world's largest environmental activist organization.
In recent years, Dr. Moore has been focused on the promotion of sustainability and consensus building among competing concerns. He was a member of British Columbia government-appointed Round Table on the Environment and Economy from 1990 - 1994. In 1990, Dr. Moore founded and chaired the BC Carbon Project, a group that worked to develop a common understanding of climate change.
Dr. Moore served for four years as Vice President, Environment for Waterfurnace International, the largest manufacturer of geothermal heat pumps for residential heating and cooling with renewable earth energy.
As Chair of the Sustainable Forestry Committee of the Forest Alliance of BC, he leads the process of developing the "Principles of Sustainable Forestry" which have been adopted by a majority of the industry.
In 1991 Dr. Moore founded Greenspirit, a consultancy focusing on environmental policy and communications in natural resources, biodiversity, energy and climate change.
In 2000, Dr. Moore published Green Spirit - Trees are the Answer, a photo-book that provides a new insight into how forests work and how they can play a powerful role in solving many of our current environmental problems.
