Power Transmission & Distribution Technology Expo 2027

The Power Transmission & Distribution Technology Expo is a compact, fully focused trade show for the next generation of technologies, systems, suppliers and contractors behind electricity transmission and distribution networks. It was created as billions of euros flow into new electrical infrastructure across Europe, and it connects equipment and system suppliers with the engineers, network architects and contractors who specify them. Registration is free for qualifying industry professionals.
