Making the OhmConnection: Bridging the Gap between User Behavior and Data

Since OhmConnect's founding in 2013, the company's user base has grown from a few dozen energy nerds to hundreds of thousands of California households. This growth is largely attributable to OhmConnect's efforts to make its user experience as simple and sticky as possible. Join John Anderson, Director of Energy Markets at OhmConnect, for a discussion of how data underpins the three "C's" of OhmConnect user engagement:

• Cares - what issues matter most to the user
• Controls - how to unlock benefits to the user from automation
• Community - who else is participating alongside the user
