A panel of experts will describe their experiences with how, after being armed with the results of resilience planning and readiness exercises, can use these plans to operationalize your resilience strategy. This session will focus on strategies which enable transitioning from IEP Vision to Energy Security Reality using proven technology and viable commercial structures.
