AlphaOak will be attending DTECH 2026, the premier conference for transmission and distribution leaders shaping the future of the electric grid. Members of AlphaOak’s leadership team — Martin Stenzig, Lars Bergmann, and Crawford Owens — will be on site February 2–5, 2026 at the San Diego Convention Center, engaging with utilities, technology partners, and industry innovators from across North America and beyond.
Formerly known as DISTRIBUTECH, DTECH® has evolved into the industry’s most influential gathering for grid modernization, digital utility transformation, and advanced energy systems. The conference brings together more than 20,000 energy professionals, 800+ speakers, and 700+ solution providers, creating an unmatched environment for strategic dialogue and collaboration.
Why DTECH® Matters to Utilities
DTECH® 2026 focuses on the most pressing challenges facing today’s utilities, including:
Grid resilience and modernization
Data-driven operations and asset management
Integration of renewables and DERs
AI, automation, and advanced analytics
Cybersecurity and system reliability
For utilities navigating aging infrastructure, regulatory pressure, and rapid technological change, DTECH® serves as a critical forum for identifying practical, scalable solutions.
AlphaOak’s Role at DTECH® 2026
AlphaOak’s presence at DTECH® reflects the firm’s commitment to helping utilities move beyond theory and into execution. As an Owner’s Agent–led systems integrator, AlphaOak partners with utilities to design and deliver enterprise-grade solutions across SAP EAM, BTP, integrations, data, and operational transformation.
During the conference, AlphaOak’s leadership team will be:
Engaging directly with utility executives and decision makers
Participating in strategic conversations around grid and asset modernization
Exploring emerging technologies that support clean-core SAP strategies
Strengthening partnerships across the utility and energy ecosystem
Rather than promoting one-size-fits-all solutions, AlphaOak focuses on fit-for-purpose architecture, disciplined delivery, and long-term operational value, a perspective that resonates strongly in today’s evolving utility landscape.
Looking Ahead
DTECH® 2026 represents more than a conference for AlphaOak. It is an opportunity to deepen relationships, share insights, and continue shaping how utilities approach digital transformation with clarity and confidence.
As utilities face increasing complexity, AlphaOak remains focused on helping clients navigate change responsibly, aligning technology, operations, and strategy to deliver outcomes that last.
