LPPC 2026 Members Conference — November 3–4, 2026 — Austin, Texas

Overview

About the Conference

LPPC’s Members Conference brings together senior executives and emerging leaders from large public power utilities to collaborate on the industry’s most pressing challenges.

Through CEO-led discussions, panels, and peer-to-peer conversations, attendees explore reliability, affordability, and emerging technologies — gaining practical ideas and tools they can apply within their own organizations. Together with industry partners, the conference provides valuable time to build relationships and step back from day-to-day operations to focus on long-term strategy and opportunities for public power.
