**TOPIC ABSTRACT**

***From Meter to Decision: Real-Time Grid Data Architectures with Apache Kafka and Rabbit

MQ***

Every decision a utility makes, from voltage regulation to approving a demand response event, depends on data arriving where it's needed, when it's needed, and in a form people can trust. This session explores how modern data streaming technologies move information across the grid, from smart meter to control room, and what that means for reliability, cost, and speed of decision-making. Through live demonstrations and a practical decision framework, attendees will leave with a clear way to think about choosing the right data architecture for their own challenges.
