Why Attend & Why Exhibit at IEEE PES T&D 2026

Why Attend

IEEE PES T&D enables professionals to evaluate end-to-end power delivery and grid solutions in one place — at true infrastructure scale.

  • Hands-on exposure to advanced transmission and distribution technologies
  • Insights into grid reliability, renewable integration, and digital transformation
  • Compare multiple vendors across equipment and software in a single venue
  • Network with engineers and leaders solving large-scale grid challenges

IEEE PES T&D is about building and modernizing critical infrastructure — not just exploring technologies

Why Exhibit

Exhibiting gives companies direct access to high-intent utility, EPC, and grid modernization buyers with capital budgets.

  • Strong footfall from utilities, grid operators, and infrastructure leaders
  • Showcase large-scale power equipment and live system capabilities
  • Access to engineers, procurement leaders, and decision-makers
  • High concentration of enterprise buyers from utilities and government bodies

Infrastructure scale + technical depth + long-cycle deal potential
