Smart Power User Forum 

From Transition to Value – Shaping the Future Together 

1–2 September · Gamle Logen, Oslo 

A two-day forum for Smart Power customers to exchange experience, explore what’s coming, and shape the direction of the product together. 

Why this forum 

The complexity of power production planning and trading has never been higher. Shorter gate closures, new reserve markets, more complex and dynamic asset portfolios, and the move from Smart Generation to Smart Power - your teams are navigating more change, faster, than ever before. 

The Smart Power User Forum brings attendees together to share experience, challenge assumptions, and align on what creates value in the field. The user forum goes beyond Smart Power, and will also bring news and showcases from trading and data and forecasting.   

So much more than a product conference, the Smart Power User Forum delivers detailed insight and practical takeaways.  

What to expect 

Real conversations, not just presentations
The agenda is built around exchange. Customer case sessions, open discussion, and a co-creation workshop mean your voice is part of the event – not just the audience for it. 

The topics that matter right now

•  Production planning and optimisation for more markets, shorter gate closures and different asset portfolios.  
• Multi-market trading – cross-market optimisation, bid matrix, coordination, and where customers are finding the biggest gains. 
• AI, Nimbus2 & cloud optimisation – real outcomes from customers already using these capabilities. 
• Smart Power roadmap – what’s coming, what to prepare for, and how to make the most of new capabilities. 
• SmG → Smart Power transition – migration paths, end-of-life implications, and what customers have learned. 

Hands-on with new capabilities 

Demo stations throughout the event give you time to see the Smart Power portfolio, Volue trading products and Volue Data&Forecasting products. We will showcase new products and prototypes – highlights being Nimbus2, Multi Market Trading, AI use cases in addition to standard workflows and use cases in production planning and trading. The demo stations gives you a chance to talk with the people who build the products to talk through what’s relevant for your operations. 

A seat at the table

The conference includes a structured co-creation workshop. The challenges and priorities you raise will directly inform how Volue’s product team thinks about future development.
