Reposting to my network. Hoping to see a lot of my local connections this evening. Too hot to go out? Nonsense! Beat the heat with a refreshing beverage and air conditioning provided by Duke Energy Corporation and the Harris Nuclear plant which has been safely and reliably splitting atoms since January 1987. No brownouts or blackouts in this crushing heat wave! Thank you Duke Energy. At the three outstanding energy events I’ve been to in the last couple of months (the University of Idaho’s Energy Executive Summit, the State Energy Conference of NC at North Carolina State University, and the 10th annual UNC Cleantech Summit at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), AI-driven electrification (what Diane Leopold from Dominion Energy referred to as “datafication”) has been one of the topics that dominated the conversation among the utility executives that I heard speak. The people I heard and spoke to at these three events are Thought Leaders for sure…but much more importantly they are Do Leaders. They are responsible for meeting customer demand, keeping the lights on and the air conditioners humming, and providing affordable energy to all those customers who are living paycheck to paycheck and are forced to choose what bills don’t get paid each month. A big tip of the cap to: (1) the three universities mentioned in this post for the vital role they play in the Industry/Academia/Government triple helix for energy and cleantech, and (2) the RTCC for being such an excellent convener and a facilitator of collaboration and discussion.

HELP from my awesome network 🥰 - Your top tips for exhibiting at trade shows Tastesmiths is exhibiting at Farm Shop & Deli Show next week (stand N158), and we are very excited to say the least! After visiting a lot of shows recently, it's our turn to don our best smile and put ourselves out there. For the seasoned exhibitors, the regular visitors and the trusty suppliers alike - I have one question: ❓What is your number 1 do (or don't) when exhibiting at trade shows? Whether it's to do with planning beforehand, things to do during the event, or essential follow-up actions, I would appreciate any advice you have. 🥳 Secondly, drop a note in the comments if you're visiting or exhibiting at the show. One of the best things about building connections on LinkedIn is putting real-life faces to virtual ones (and finding out how much more awesome you are IRL!).
