The National Town Meeting on Demand Response was designed to provide a forum where the demand response “community” could come together to exchange information and expertise and learn about what other parties are doing and thinking about with respect to demand response. In this regard, much of the National Town Meeting was conducted in “roundtable” format, with speakers not making slide-type presentations and instead offering remarks and thoughts and also responding to questions from the moderator and the audience.

There were, however, some full slide presentations made at the Town Meeting. In addition, there was some use of slides by speakers to present or emphasize a specific point. These latter sets of slides were not intended to be a complete presentation and should not be interpreted as such.
