About the Events
Location: Von Braun Center, Huntsville, Alabama

The
Engineering & Operations Conference attracts more than 450 utility professionals, industry experts, and suppliers in the critical areas of:
  • Environmental, Generation & Fuels
  • Grid Modernization
  • Transmission & Distribution
The Safety Summit is a premier gathering of leaders and experts from across the public power sector, united by a shared commitment to advancing safety. Attendees include:
  • Safety and training professionals
  • Vice presidents and superintendents
  • Director and manager
  • Systems and network engineers
📝 Submission Guidelines
  • Be specific: Clearly define the topic you’d like addressed—or present yourself as a speaker. For example, “Innovative strategies for integrating renewables into utility portfolios” is more descriptive than simply “renewable energy.”
  • Think broadly: Suggest topics that resonate with a diverse audience, from small public power utilities (under 5,000 customers) to large ones (over 100,000), spanning communities nationwide.
  • Keep it educational: Focus on sharing knowledge, not selling products. Every session should offer actionable insights that attendees can apply at their utility—regardless of whether they buy a service.
  • Highlight real-world impact: Submissions featuring public power case studies or utility/vendor partnerships may receive priority consideration.
📌 Key Reminders
  • Deadline: Topic submissions are due by September 10.
  • Submit More Than One: Multiple submissions are welcome! Please complete a separate survey for each proposed topic or session.
  • Notification: We’ll contact selected contributors in October and November.
  • Alternate Submission Option: Prefer to submit directly or include supporting materials? Email your proposal to Aca...@PublicPower.org.
