IEEE PES T&D Conference & Exposition

IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution is the largest T&D event in North America and runs only every two years, which is the main reason to put it in a calendar this far out. It combines a full technical conference with an exhibition on the scale of a major trade show, an unusual pairing and the reason it draws both planning engineers and equipment buyers.

Content spans the whole delivery system: transmission planning and construction, substation design and automation, protection and control, asset management, and the grid-modernisation programmes utilities are funding now. Tutorials on the front days are worth arriving early for.

Atlanta, at the Georgia World Congress Center. Being biennial, it tends to be where equipment that has been in development shows up finished.
