In April 2027, members of our growing user community—over 300 utilities from across the United States, Canada and Caribbean Basin—will gather together in Charlotte, NC.
Plan to come to receive hands-on technical training, help shape product development and learn about new ways to maximize the performance and value of your Tantalus investments.
Join the Engineering and Operations track designed for utility professionals deploying, managing, and supporting Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems, including AMI and meter supervisors and technicians, member services staff, and billing coordinators. Explore the latest approaches to optimize network performance, resolve metering issues, and use AMI data to strengthen utility operations. Sessions will cover:
This track provides the opportunity to network with peers, learn from utility leaders, and walk away with actionable tactics for maximizing your AMI investment and operational excellence.
Join utility professionals in the Grid Modernization track designed for SCADA technicians, load/demand management specialists, substation managers, and electric operations / engineering leaders. This track focuses on how modern technology helps utilities balance supply and demand, secure data across devices, and integrate automation from substations to grid edge devices.
Explore how peers are deploying data-centric control systems, optimizing SCADA and load management, enhancing substation automation, leveraging fiber networks, and implementing solutions to future-proofing utility operations. Sessions feature case studies, technical demos, and collaborative discussions focused on operations, engineering, and communications best practices. Key areas covered:
This track equips attendees with actionable tactics, peer knowledge, and platform-specific strategies to lead and sustain the next era of grid modernization—from the substation to the edge of the grid.
Explore the intersection of cybersecurity, data strategy and analytics to future-proof utility operations and address real-world risks. The Security and Data Management track gives software developers, IT teams, GIS planners, and SCADA supervisors tools for managing the full data lifecycle, detecting threats, ensuring compliance, and integrating security throughout utility data flows. Plus practical guidance on data from endpoint data collection, access control, system health monitoring, and secure design at every stage of your utilities infrastructure.
Attendees will gain actionable knowledge to deploy resilient systems, maintain compliance, and manage data integrity—arming their utility against modern cyber threats and enabling secure, data-driven innovation across every layer of the utility enterprise.
Tantalus Academy is a hands-on learning track that helps utility professionals get more value from their Tantalus investment, faster. Building on the structure and intent of Tantalus University, this track brings together focused sessions that translate real-world utility challenges into practical skills using Tantalus solutions to solve real operational challenges.
Designed for cross-functional utility teams, the Academy supports AMI administrators, engineering and operations staff, IT, and customer service professionals who rely on Tantalus systems.
This track emphasizes applied learning so participants leave with specific workflows, configuration ideas, and use cases they can bring back to their utilities. 6 x Tantalus Academy sessions will be offered as pre-conference training the afternoon of Tuesday, May 12th and repeated concurrently with the Wednesday/Thursday breakout sessions.
The Executive Track is a closed-door, invitation-only forum for CEOs, GMs, superintendents, and senior executives to engage directly with Tantalus’ leadership around strategy, risk, and long-term value creation. It provides an update on Tantalus’ business, progress on key objectives, and major product and platform milestones, while offering space to address the most pressing industry issues facing public power and cooperatives.
Designed as an interactive, candid environment, the track enables executive leaders an opportunity to pressure-test assumptions, share lessons learned, and help shape Tantalus’ roadmap and partnership model. Sessions will explore how utilities can navigate an aging grid, regulatory and cybersecurity pressures, decarbonization mandates, and rising expectations from boards, policymakers, and members.
Attendees will participate in facilitated discussions, peer roundtables, and Q&A with Tantalus’ executive team to gain actionable insight into forward-looking trends and concrete strategies to position their utility for the future. This track also creates a unique opportunity for decision-makers to network with peers, provide direct feedback to Tantalus, and collaborate on data-driven grid modernization and utility performance improvements.
