U2030 Annual SPARK Meeting
The utility industry is in the midst of profound transformation—where communities, technologies, and leadership are more interconnected than ever. At SPARK 2026, we’ll explore “Our Hyper-Connected Futures” and how utilities can thrive where innovation and humanity converge.
Through interactive Learning Experience Design (LXD) sessions, participants engage, experiment, and connect in new and exciting ways.

SPARK Developing Agenda
In 2026, SPARK explores how leadership, teams, customers, and communities connect in an era defined by digital transformation.
Participants will examine the evolving relationship between people and technologies such as AI, analytics, and IoT—discovering how empathy, collaboration, and strategic innovation can coexist.
From practical case studies to interactive design experiences, SPARK equips leaders to guide their organizations through change with both confidence and heart.
