The leading annual transmission and distribution event took place in sunny San Diego at the beginning of February – DISTRIBUTECH International. The event addressed technologies that are used to move electricity from the power plant through to the transmission and distribution systems, right to the meter and inside a home or business.
We attended DISTRIBUTECH International as a representative of three of our esteemed clients; Apricorn, Wi-Sun Alliance and OpenADR Alliance. The event welcomed over 17,000 attendees, saw some incredible presentations and keynote speakers and brought together the best in the industry.
Event Highlights
One of the many outstanding keynote speeches at DISTRIBUTECH International came from Duncan Wardle; Head of Innovation and Creativity at Disney. Wardle’s keynote speech on “The Theory of Creativity” gave great insight into the ability to think creatively and shared some innovation tools he developed through experience with thousands of Fortune 500 companies and over 30 years of experience with the Walt Disney company.
Day 2 brought one of the best distractions we could’ve asked for at an event. The ‘puppy park’ definitely stole the show! A local dog charity joined us at DISTRIBUTECH International to promote the adoption and fostering of abandoned puppies.
“It was great to be part of DISTRIBUTECH International and to be there on behalf of three of our clients was not only a pleasure, but an insight into how they engage with their customers directly. It was an impressive event that brought together some of the best minds in the utility sector. As a PR professional I want to do everything I can to support my clients in every way possible, and by attending events such as DISTRIBUTECH International to work alongside them, I feel that I can give them my time, expertise and connect them to the media in a way that cannot be done without being on-site.”
