Some quotes from participants:

'ETSI has demonstrated its capability to bring together Smart Grid decision makers from several continents at a single, well focused and productive event. We are waiting for a follow-up now!' Filip Gluszak, GridPocket

'Excellent overview of the issues raised by the Smart Grid, with well-balanced presentations between experiments and standardization activities in this domain. It was an excellent workshop towards the needed harmonization between all actors involved. Also the perfect organization of the workshop encourages the networking discussions.' Patricia MARTIGNE, FT/Orange Labs

'ETSI's Smart Grid workshop helped to cut through the myriad of standardisation activities. Providing a good opportunity to focus on key issues that will help to shape the future of standardisation and regulation.' Peter Gibson, Intel Corporation

'One of the best international, or in fact global,  events on architectures and standards for smart grid.' Mark Ossel, VP Echelon, ESNA

'A thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience - enthralling from beginning to end! ' - Mark Hudson, Session Chair, Hewlett Packard

'Exciting experience and a very good opportunity to share the knowledge' Domenico Fortugno, ABB
