The industry conversation, out of the conference hall.
At select industry conferences, Energy Central LIVE brings utility professionals together for a real conversation about what’s shaping the industry — inside an event they actually want to attend.
One standout experience, built around three things.
A live conversation
A substantive, on-the-record discussion about an issue shaping the industry — recorded as a live episode of Power Perspectives, our marquee podcast.
A high-energy experience
The gathering that gets the right people in the room: a cornhole tournament, a coffee meetup, a waterfront happy hour — whatever fits the moment.
One exclusive partner
A single brand leads the conversation, owns the experience and stays visible long after the conference ends. No shared billing.
Nobody skips a conference session for another cocktail table.
A great conversation needs the right room. We build each experience around a simple hook — cornhole, coffee, happy hour, a DJ — so the utility leaders you want to meet actually show up, and stick around.
