Events that deliver real pipeline
TCS Breakfast at DTECH 2026
Energy Central planned and produced a targeted breakfast at DTECH, mapping TCS’s priority accounts and driving attendance from senior utility decision-makers.
Participation from
Original goal: 30 attendees. Energy Central nearly doubled it.
Fulcrum Pre-Esri UC Event
Energy Central created a personality-driven pre-conference event designed to bring Fulcrum’s priority audience together in a more memorable setting.
Pipeline influence reported by Fulcrum following the event. The event used a cornhole tournament and waterfront social as its hook—creating a more engaging alternative to a standard conference reception.
Most companies spend heavily just to show up at a conference. Energy Central helps you create a meaningful moment while the industry is already gathered—and turns it into content that keeps working after everyone goes home.
We act as the convener, editorial partner and production team: bringing the right utility professionals together, capturing what matters and extending the impact through Energy Central’s audience.
