The companies shaping how Matter and OpenADR work together will help define future market access, partnerships, and customer value. This is where manufacturers can influence the direction of the market rather than react to it later.

Energy management is reaching an inflection point

As electrification accelerates, EV chargers, heat pumps, batteries, solar inverters and appliances increasingly need to work together seamlessly. Yet there is still no common approach to how connected devices should interact.

  • Manufacturers are waiting for proven market demand
  • Utilities and aggregators are waiting for interoperable products
  • Consumers are waiting for solutions that simply work together
  • Today's bespoke integrations are becoming increasingly difficult to scale

Help break the cycle

This workshop brings together the organizations developing the standards, architectures, and interoperability frameworks poised to underpin the next generation of energy management. Together we'll explore how open standards can reduce integration complexity, accelerate adoption, and create a more scalable market for everyone.

Matter. OpenADR. Utilities. Manufacturers. HEMS Providers. Policy Leaders.

All in one room.

Make sure your organization has a seat at the table.

Date: October 26–27, 2026
Location: JW Marriott Berlin (co-located with the Connectivity Standards Alliance Member Meeting)
