The most prestigious technical event in T&D
The IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference & Exposition is the most comprehensive and technically authoritative event dedicated to the design, operation and modernisation of the electric grid. Organised biennially by the IEEE Power & Energy Society, its 2026 edition runs from 4 to 7 May at McCormick Place (South Building) in Chicago, Illinois, with more than 800 exhibitors, over 100 technical sessions and the utility ComEd as host. Central themes include AI in grid management, cybersecurity, renewable integration and infrastructure resilience.
Unlike a standard commercial fair, IEEE PES T&D draws a markedly technical audience: power engineers, system planners, regulators and providers. For Amperis, it is the ideal stage to speak the language of accuracy and traceability.
Technical authority and North American consolidation
A presence at the IEEE PES event gives Amperis an asset that cannot simply be bought: technical credibility before the community that defines the sector’s standards. For a measurement-instrumentation provider, validation by utility and academic engineers carries greater positioning value than any campaign.
Being held in Chicago —the industrial heart of the Midwest and home to one of the country’s largest distribution utilities— further reinforces the Amperis geographic coverage in the U.S., complementing its presence on the DISTRIBUTECH circuit.
What it brings to Amperis: positioning by product
The engineering profile of IEEE PES T&D maps onto the most specialised part of the catalogue:
- Power-transformer testing. RMO TW Series, transformer turns-ratio meters and the AEHV oil degasser address the needs of large transmission assets.
- Switchgear and SF6. The micro-ohmmeters, the coil testers and the SF6 analysis and handling range (Rapidox analysers and recovery units) cover the maintenance of high-voltage circuit breakers.
- Advanced diagnostics. Partial-discharge detection with PULD 40, the insulation-resistance testers and the protection-relay testing equipment underpin predictive maintenance.
- Measurement and safety. Network analysers, earth-resistance testers and loop-impedance meters round out an integral technical offering.
The endorsement of the engineering community
Participating in IEEE PES T&D 2026 places Amperis before the technical community that sets the global T&D standard, reinforcing its brand authority in the same year it also attends San Diego. Explore the full catalogue or contact the engineering team at contact.
