About this event

TVPPA’s Engineering, Operations & Technology Conference brings together utility engineers, operations professionals, and technical leaders for three days of high-impact learning and connection. Designed to support those who keep our communities powered, this dynamic event features a full schedule of general sessions, breakout discussions, preconference tours, hands-on workshops, and lightning-round conversations — all tailored to the evolving needs of public power professionals.

Our expansive trade show, showcasing solutions and innovations from more than 100 industry vendors, is a highlight of this conference. Attendees can also explore vendor-led solution centers for in-depth, real-world applications and insights.

Our EOT conference gives licensed engineers the opportunity to earn Professional Development Hours (PDHs) .   Participants who have recently completed TVPPA’s Certified Power Technology, Power Distribution Engineer, or Distribution System Operator certificate programs will be recognized during the event. 

Whether you're advancing your skills, exploring new technologies, or strengthening your network, this conference offers the tools and connections you need to lead with confidence in a rapidly evolving utility landscape. Registration opens in May 2026.
