Learn and share information with your peers and SBS regarding our Intelligent Design Solutions for Distribution and Substations
The Peer Utility Group is a unique gathering of utility and engineering design professionals to exchange experiences and ideas on the design, integration and improvement of utility design and construction workflows. For 10 years the PUG has continued to grow as attendees openly share experiences and resolve common industry problems in a non-commercial environment. Attendees also get the opportunity to discuss product directions with the SBS development and delivery teams.
Conference Details
As we announce our 10th Annual Peer Utility Group Conference, we’re both excited and honored to gather in person to celebrate this milestone. This year’s conference will be held at the stunning Heritage Eagle Bend Golf Club in Denver, Colorado, from August 28th to 31st, 2023.
Our annual golf tournament will be held Monday morning for those that are interested, with full conference activities kicking off Tuesday. We are pleased to introduce our first Substation track in addition to the Distribution track. The substation track will be by invitation only, focused on physical substation design topics. Please contact SBS if you are interested in participating as seating is limited.
This event will provide a wealth of knowledge, insights and networking opportunities. Our program includes a wide range of conference sessions and evening events spanning throughout the week. Moreover, SBS experts will be available for open table discussions on Thursday afternoon.
Please note that our initial year’s Virtual Livestream will only cover the Distribution track. Details are still underway, be sure to visit www.spatialbiz.com/peer-utility-group/ to stay up to date on the latest information.
