The (ICSGSRI-26) aims to be this all-so-necessary rocket fuel of progress for the field of Smart Grid Security and Resilient Infrastructure by providing everyone from students and educators to researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals, the inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and radical ingenuity that they need to be able to go out there and achieve big things. From invigorating keynote speeches and research presentation sessions to pathbreaking workshops, debates, networking sessions, exhibits, and more, the (ICSGSRI-26) will prove to be the accelerant of progress that the world will attribute all success in Smart Grid Security and Resilient Infrastructure to in the years to come. Although there is a certain degree of progress that is in existence in the discipline of Smart Grid Security and Resilient Infrastructure at present, the pace of progress isn't something that anybody engaged in the field is proud of. Every reason for this slower-than-expected speed of development can be summed up as being a result of this one major hindrance to progress - the lack of motivation and the absence of a motivating factor.
