DALLAS, TEXAS—April 14, 2006—Clasma Events Inc. announced today the GridWise^TM Expo, a first-of-its-kind event providing education and business development opportunities for high-level stakeholders of the U.S. electric system, is becoming the premier avenue for defining the future development of the national electric grid with an impressive line up of general sessions and more intimate roundtable discussions. The inaugural event will be held May 16-18, 2006 at the Palm Springs Convention Center.

The GridWise Expo will reinforce the GridWiseTM vision of electric grid modernization through the development and use of advanced sensor, communication, control and information technologies. The four key elements of discussion and demonstration include:

Education on technologies, initiatives and impact
Live demonstrations of hardware, software and communication concepts available to realize the vision

“The GridWiseTM Architectural Council is extremely pleased to provide the stakeholders of the U.S. electric system the chance to meet, network and generate ideas and relationships that will further the vision of modernization,” Rik Drummond, GWAC chairman, said.
