Reliability & Security Workshop and WICF Meeting

We are excited to announce our fall Reliability & Security Workshop, where you can gain essential insights into the Western Interconnection. This two-day event focuses on risk-based, technical content designed to tackle the challenges you face every day and is recommended for practitioners of technical work and subject-matter experts.

Day One:

Kick off the workshop with our general sessions that will introduce five critical reliability risks affecting the Western Interconnection. Our expert speakers will explain these risks, their potential effects, and why they matter to your organization.

Day Two:

Choose between two new specialized tracks:

Small to Medium Entities or Large Entities

These tracks will offer a deeper dive into the risks discussed on Day One, with practical insights tailored to your organization’s size and risk needs. You'll explore standards, compliance elements, and gain access to valuable resources and tools from WECC programs.

Register now to reserve your place to learn, contribute, and mitigate risks to the Western Interconnection!
