The Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative (SECC) is excited to announce that the initial agenda is now available for the inaugural Summer Summit, a half-day workshop that will be held as a special track at DTECH Midwest on Tuesday, July 15 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.

The theme for the 2025 Summer Summit is Understanding Your Residential Customers, and we have developed an in-depth, interactive program around this theme with sessions on demand flexibility, electric vehicles, energy affordability and more.

The cornerstone of the three-hour agenda will be the Shaping the Future: Consumer Segmentation and the Energy Movement workshop where attendees will learn actionable strategies for how they can better understand their residential customer base via consumer segmentation.

The speaker line-up for the inaugural Summer Summit at DTECH Midwest will be finalized by early June, but we have already confirmed several expert speakers for the program, including:

• Carmen Carruthers, Outreach Director, Citizens Utility Board of Minnesota
• Stacey Kinley, Senior Vice President, The Harris Poll
• Peter Johns, Manager, Dealership Relations, Xcel Energy
• Gomathi Sadhasivan, Vice President – Energy Systems, DNV
• Greg Stevenson, Director of Product Innovation, Consumers Energy
• James Conely, Beneficial Electrification and Community Programs, Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric Association
