- Practical Microgrids: A customer-focused track designed to provide potential microgrid users with the knowledge and skills they need to evaluate their needs and access partners, services, and technologies in the market. This track assumed that all participants have a basic understanding of what microgrids are and how they work.

Day two of the conference was the convergence:
Smart Cities and Microgrids: The two tracks converged to explore the interaction and synergies between smart city technologies and microgrids, which focused in on data analytics, energy resilient communities, electric and autonomous vehicles, the role of blockchain technologies, and a future forecast for the convergence of microgrids and smart cities.
