DistribuTECH is a must-attend event for utilities!  Just take it from these utility participants:

“In addition to offering informative sessions and panels, DTECH provides great opportunities to interact with peers and to learn about new products and services.  If you are working on a smart grid project, this is the place to connect with vendors and consultants that can help with your project.  I don’t know of another conference where so many vendors are available at the same place.”


- Jim Parks, Program Manager, SmartSacramento
Sacramento Municipal Utility District

“DistribuTech offers the most comprehensive and extensive forum for learning about opportunities to apply technologies to enable achievement of goals for improved distribution system performance at all levels.  If I was only able to attend one conference each year, DTECH would undoubtedly be my choice!”

- Rick Potter, Principal Smart Grid Technology Consultant

"DTECH attendance is an opportunity to contribute and acquire knowledge related to distributed generation, advanced distribution systems, and many other subjects; and, an opportunity to network with engineers and managers from across the power industry. In this respect, DTECH is the best forum, or one of the best forums, available."

"DistribuTECH has a well-deserved reputation as one of the industry's best conferences for utility.   It provides a forum for industry executives, professionals and researchers to brainstorm ideas and solutions for the success of the future energy distribution infrastructure. "

"DTECH is not your typical conference.  If you are coming to relax and see the sites, you don’t belong here.  DTECH is the most information packed program I have ever attended.  DTECH provides many tracks and, as an attendee, you get to select the presentations and discussions that will add the most value to you and your organization.  It is one of the only opportunities in the US to learn so much, about so many different grid topics, in one location."

- Francis Perio, Manager, AMI Development
Entergy Services Inc.

"Whether or not to attend DTECH is a no-brainer, you HAVE to be there. You know everybody you want to meet up with will be there: vendors, utilities, professionnal associations, the standardization community. Your co-workers might even be there! And crossing their paths at the biggest show the industry has to offer is another story."
