Keynotes are great, key relationships are better. Let’s really connect at DTech this year!
The utility industry is one that by its nature has its heavy hitters regionally spread out. Financial titans can meet on Wall Street, entertainment executives can always grab lunch with their peers in LA, and politicos have their epicenter in DC. But every single corner of the world needs energy, so we have leaders and devoted armies of experts in each of those nooks and crannies of the country ensuring the power comes on when customers flip the switch– regardless of time of day, extreme weather pattern, or what’s going on in the world.
That’s why so many of us have DistribuTECH regularly circled on the calendar. DTech bills itself as the “leading annual transmission and distribution live event” – and that’s a fair assessment of the critical panels, keynotes, and learning sessions that are set to take place over the next few days in San Diego (where I’m flying to as I write this).
Proof: I’m en route!
But on a human level, the conference can be and is so much more than that. While the industry has no shortage of other events in different places most weeks of the year, DistribuTECH is the one that has tended to rise above as the gathering where you know that everyone will be there.
That’s what makes this one that our team at Energy Central has always looked forward to. Yes, we want to see what people are announcing from stages with filled agendas over the next few days. Yes, we want to sit in on the learning sessions and panels (be sure to check out Kinsey’s panel in the data center workshop on Monday at 1:45 pm - 2:30 pm: The Interconnection Bottleneck: Taming the Queue for Hyper-Scale Load– Room 5AB). And yes, it’s a great time to see and be seen as professionals and brands.
But more than that? We are excited to talk shop on the showroom floor. The real value at a conference like this, and it underscores the real mode of change in the industry, is the people. At an event like DTech, you can catch up with people in the industry– old friends and new players.
