About This Show

AI-drafted summary

DTECH (DISTRIBUTECH International) is the leading annual transmission and distribution (T&D) event in the United States, uniting electric utilities, technology and solution providers, and power producers around the technologies that move electricity from the power plant through the grid to the meter and into the home. The 2027 edition takes place March 1-4, 2027 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The event pairs a large-scale exhibition with an in-depth technical conference. Programming spans grid automation, energy efficiency, demand response, DER management, smart cities, transportation electrification, advanced metering, and cybersecurity, with a consistent focus on resiliency, reliability, sustainability, and grid modernization. Attendees include professionals from utilities, consultants, finance and investment firms, and EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) organizations.

DTECH is worth attending for its combination of education, sourcing, and networking. Utilities, government, and solution providers deliver sessions on trending topics, while more than 800 exhibitors showcase transformative products and services on the show floor. Signature networking—from breakfast roundtables to the event's well-known networking parties—makes it a central meeting point for the T&D community.
