We organize four forums on the day before the conference in a workshop style format that emphasizes case studies: a Manufacturers Forum, a Utilities Forum, an Academic Forum and a Consultants Forum. The forums are intended to especially attract practitioners to the conference. The forums form an integral part of the ICA2017 conference and are hence complimentary with your registration. The idea is to attend the forum closest to your profession. The information for the different fora will be updated soon.
