The Missouri Public Utility Alliance (“MPUA”) has scheduled its Annual Conference (“Conference”) for September 25th -27th .
The Conference will be held in Branson, Missouri.
A focus of the Conference will be what utilities need to have in place for an ever-changing industry. The presentations will provide tips on how to reassess plans so the different aspects of utility service can seamlessly work together down the road.

Featured presentation topics will include:

I will be undertaking a presentation titled:
