He is one of the nation's leading experts on demand response and has directed a number of national research efforts on demand response in recent years.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Brendan Kirby, Oak Ridge National Laboratory</B></div> <div> Brendan was also a member of the team FERC assembled to produce the report and he provided guidance on the role of demand response in transmission planning and operations.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" > </FONT>He is a recognized expert on demand response and its application to the transmission and distribution sector.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Patti Harper-Slaboszewicz, UtiliPoint International</B></div> <div> Along with Chuck and Brendan, Patti was a member of the team that assisted FERC.  She led the survey effort and provided guidance on advance metering.  She is a leading expert on advanced metering infrastructure and demand response.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Moderator:</B></div> <div> Dan Delurey</div> <div> U.S. Demand Response Coordinating Committee (DRCC)</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>How to register:</B></div> <div> If you are a State Regulator, please download the following registration form and fax it to 781-756-8008, attention Robin Lumsden. </div> <bR> <div> If you are not a State Regulator, you have two options.
