Memorable Moments in Chicago
Chicago was the place to be this May as the industry took over McCormick Place for the 2026 IEEE PES T&D Conference & Exposition.
This show is where the global energy community gathers to discuss the practicalities of modernizing the grid. PUF’s time in the Windy City was spent digging into the tech defining the next era of energy delivery, including the surge in AI-driven load growth and real-world strategies for wildfire mitigation.
From the massive Exhibit Hall stages to the high-level technical panels, the focus was clear: The leadership and innovation required to keep the system reliable aren’t theoretical. It is happening now.
