Fee: Free

Maryland Clean Energy Technology Incubator at bwtech (CETI) at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) is starting a seminar series this Fall with focus on the Smart Grid. The intent is to discuss the issues and opportunities, and then speculate about the business opportunities associated with the major restructuring of the electric grid that is about to happen. Huge (tens of billions of dollars) investments are committed to the Smart Grid for the coming decade. So, join the seminars at CETI this Fall to interact with speakers and participants to explore your business opportunities. The seminar is FREE! Our first speaker, Mr. Peter Kelly-Detwiler, is an ideal person to speak about the Smart Grid. He is leading a group at Constellation Energy that is developing new methods for data analysis and data presentation, he is an “entrepreneur” within Constellation, he has 20 years of experience in the energy field, and he has a perspective on the Smart Grid like few others. Seminar Title: A Smart Grid Perspective: Finding Value in the Collision of Energy and Information Seminar Abstract: Many people have heard of the term “smart grid” and there are many varying interpretations of what it means. But everybody can agree on three things: • It involves increased and timely access to information. • There’s money in it. • It will create new and unforeseen technologies and entrepreneurial opportunities. The discussion will center around why smart grid is needed, how an energy provider views the challenges and opportunities, the forces we see gathering on the horizon, and how Constellation Energy is responding. Issues related to power grid economics, volatility, risk management, and customer elasticities and perspectives will be addressed. Time: Wednesday, September 8, 4 pm – 6 pm Place: 2nd floor Courtyard Conference Room at UMBC Tech Center 1450 South Rolling Road, Baltimore, MD 21227 Format: • ~ 45 minute presentation with Q&A • Informal and interactive sessions to stimulate discussion • Plenty of time to socialize and talk to other participants • Snack and refreshments Speaker Bio Peter Kelly-Detwiler is Senior Vice President of Energy Technology Services for Constellation NewEnergy, Inc., a subsidiary of Constellation Energy Group. He and his company-wide team oversee the integration of efficiency technologies and applications that help customers better manage their total energy bills and create optimal energy solutions. Peter has 20 years of experience in the energy industry. His accomplishments include managing the development of energy efficiency projects and reviewing economic impact of energy products.

Fee: $15 includes lunch

Firing employees can be very expensive for businesses if not handled correctly. Federal and State regulations provide terminated employees the recourse to file charges against employers for unlawful termination for a variety of reasons. In addition, businesses may be required to pay unemployment claims that the terminated employee may not be entitled. It is essential that employers handle these cases appropriately in order to minimize their liability. This presentation will provide the basics on the termination process. It will show the steps necessary to minimize employer risks and the documentation that should be maintained. Take the first step to protecting your business.
