Are You Ready to Get Inspired?

September 19, 2024

Itron Inspire 2024 is just around the corner! We’re thrilled to reconnect with customers, partners and leaders across energy, water, IIoT and smart cities in Palm Desert, California. The conference gets started on Oct. 4 with pre-conference training and officially kicks off on Oct. 6 with the Knowledge Conference. To help you get ready, we've compiled some tips to ensure you make the most of your experience. 

Download the Itron Inspire app—your key to saying connected.  
The app is your essential tool for staying informed throughout the conference. It provides the full schedule, alerts, reminders, venue details and more. Make sure to download it on your phone before you arrive—it’s available for both IOS and Android. While Itron Inspire attendees can access the app via a web browser, keep in mind that you won’t receive real-time notifications or updates without refreshing the page. 

Plan ahead: curate your perfect conference schedule.  
Use the Itron Inspire app to create your ideal conference schedule by selecting the sessions you want to attend. New to the app this year, we’ve created suggested session agendas based on your interests to help you get started with building your schedule. Knowledge Center Tours can also be scheduled in the app, which are around 20-minutes long and based on your interest in Grid Edge Intelligence, Smart Water Solutions, Smart Cities and Gas Edge.

Open to all attendees of Itron Inspire, this year’s Welcome Reception will take place on Monday night in the Knowledge Center and is the official kickoff to the Knowledge Conference. And don’t forget, our signature party will take place on Tuesday night! This year’s theme is Palm Desert Retro Pool Party.

The tournament, in a scramble format, tees off promptly at 8:00 a.m. If this piques your interest, be sure to include it in your registration or contact your Itron representative to secure your spot in this year’s tournament.
