The success of every utility workforce begins with exceptional trainers. The 2027 Trainers Conference & Tradeshow is dedicated to developing the professionals who educate, mentor, and prepare the next generation of utility workers. Whether you're building training programs, refining instructional techniques, strengthening leadership skills, or sharing lessons learned from the field, this conference provides the knowledge, resources, and connections to help you become a more effective trainer.

This year's theme is Train. Transform. Lead. Together, we'll explore proven training practices, professional development opportunities, technical instruction, and real-world case studies that equip trainers to make a lasting impact on their organizations. From the classroom to the field, every session is designed to help trainers grow their skills, inspire others, and lead with confidence.

New sessions include these and many more:

Beyond the educational sessions, attendees can explore the tradeshow floor and connect directly with exhibitors who understand the tools, equipment, and training challenges facing today's utility workforce. It's an opportunity to see solutions in action, ask questions, compare resources, and discover practical ways to strengthen training both in the classroom and in the field.

Join us as the 7th annual Trainers Conference & Tradeshow returns to sunny Orlando, Florida, bringing utility trainers, industry professionals, and leading exhibitors together once again to share knowledge, explore practical solutions, and build valuable connections. Together, we'll train with purpose, transform the way we develop our workforce, and lead the future of utility training.
