Join Overstory and Watch Duty for an exclusive Risk Buy-Down lunch on Tuesday at Metropolitan Tavern (located directly across from the Oregon convention center) before the Trees & Utilities opening session.

Pull up a chair to talk about:

  • Defensible wildfire mitigation: How peers are backing their vegetation and safety plans with hard data that stands up to regulatory scrutiny.

  • Smarter contractor bidding: Real-world ways utilities are using precise environmental insights to sharpen bids and stretch operational budgets.
