T he ongoing disruption caused by the pandemic has not changed the need for technical, engineering and innovation professionals across utilities to uncover the technologies, services and partnerships that can unlock quicker, smarter and cheaper ways of working. With this fact front of mind, the team behind the long-running pan-utility physi- cal exhibition Utility Week Live has moved to create an online exhibition that will support the sector's need to keep moving forward and delivering for stakeholders. As well as providing the opportunity to meet with hundreds of exhibitors with new ideas and products to apply to key indus- try problems, the event comes with in-built networking forums and a packed content agenda to support peer-to-peer learning. Our sessions have been grouped into two key content streams: Operational Excellence and Innovation, with each looking at oppor- tunities for continuous improvement and transformational change in the way utilities conduct operations, core processes and the application of technology and data. Topics to be explored are wide-ranging, from maximising the use of energy flexibility in the net zero transition to exploiting asset data for greater operational efficiency, and from improving approaches to tackling water leakage to finding new ways to accelerate smart meter installation rates. There are "soer issues" up for discus- sion and debate too with expert speakers from the utilities sector and beyond signed
