About This Event

Utility Analytics Week 2026 (UA Week) is a Big Data event taking place 20-22 Oct 2026 at Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel, Glendale, United States.

Utility Analytics Week (UA Week) is the Utility Analytics Institute's flagship in-person event and the culmination of a year of collaboration across its member community. The three-day conference is led by utilities and built for conversation rather than presentation: electric, gas and water utility teams share real projects, hard lessons and roadmaps on grid reliability, resilience, safety, operations and customer experience, alongside trusted technology partners.

Conference tracks

Breakout sessions are organised into tracks aimed at different roles, from hands-on practitioners to analytics leaders.
