med_60Tuesday 4th November 2008. We are pleased to announce that Mark Coyle, our Corporate Development Director from the UK, is coming to Melbourne with a wealth of knowledge about international energy markets which we would like to share with you over breakfast at Melbourne's Hilton on the Park on November 20th 2008.

  • Optimising today’s market operations
  • How ‘Smart Energy’ will result in profound change for energy markets
  • The role of data in enabling evolved energy markets
  • How access and use of data is a vital strategic asset in future dynamic decision making rather than just meeting market compliance
  • Aligning your business now to succeed on an enduring basis
