Utility User Group Adelaide 2025

Adelaide - Glenelg and Henley Beach, SA, Australia

Join the Nokia Energy team and peers for a two-day forum in Adelaide. We’ll dig into the nuts and bolts of modern grid communications—digital substation/virtualization, synchronization and timing, security, inter-utility service sharing, and concise solution updates across IP/MPLS and Optical. You’ll also hear where AI is starting to help in operations and protection—kept practical and grounded in field results, not hype.

Why attend

• Learn directly from utilities and partners through case studies and open Q&A.
• Compare designs for digital substation/vPAC, segmentation, and security posture.
