Re-visit the CES conference track presented by UL
UL partnered with the Consumer Electronics Association in January to present the conference track titled “Energy and the Smart Grid Home” at 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, United States. The conference provided the attendees in-depth view of how thought leaders from industry and government envision the near future of smart homes in three sessions exploring “LED Technology”, “Energy Generation” and “Energy Savings”.
If you missed the opportunity to learn about these intelligent technologies in person, we are now delighted to inform you that the videos of the three sessions are available on UL Knowledge Services Web site. Simply go through an easy registration and you will have access to our recorded conference for free.
