Defining Tomorrow Through Four Themes of Innovation
THEME ONE
Transforming the Energy System: Essential Capacity and Leadership with GRID 2.0
This theme opens the conversation on grid modernization by underscoring the importance of energy independence, resilience, and a renewed examination of the DC value proposition. It highlights how the nation can reclaim leadership by advancing high-capacity transmission, next-generation infrastructure, and a unified strategy for meeting unprecedented electrification and AI-driven demand.
THEME TWO
Powering Mobility and Mobile Power: Achieving New Frontiers with Technology Advancements
Powering Mobility spotlights the rise of next-generation propulsion; electric, hydrogen, hybrid, and biofuel systems; transforming how we move across land, sea, air, and space. These technologies reduce emissions, increase efficiency, and enable smarter, lighter, and more autonomous platforms. But propulsion alone isn’t enough. Scalable energy systems; from battery storage and charging networks to microgrids; are critical to support this shift. From urban fleets to lunar rovers, the future of mobility depends on reliable power generation, storage, and delivery.
THEME THREE
Microgrids: Powering Energy Independence, Security, and Resilience
This theme explores the advantage of Microgrids for transforming the grid into a decentralized, dynamic, adaptive system that powers progress while countering threat scenarios and vulnerabilities. It highlights innovative strategies that combine capacity growth, adaptive resilience, and decentralized empowerment to ensure a secure and luminous energy future.
THEME FOUR
Policy, Regulation, and AI-Optimized Market Transformation for Economic Advantage
This theme brings together lawmakers, regulators, and industry leaders to define the frameworks needed to accelerate grid modernization. It explores incentives, interconnection standards, and market reforms that enable innovation, investment, and the widespread deployment of advanced technologies like HVDC corridors, microgrids, and distributed energy resources.
What People Are Saying
The heart of the conference is a bold narrative which signals the beginning of a movement: the United States is entering the initial phase of nationally coordinated redesign of the electric grid, shifting from legacy AC corridors to a high‑capacity HVDC backbone, based on a substantially de-centralized architecture
The U.S. transmission grid was not built for the level of demand it is now being asked to serve to ensure we win the AI race. Loads are arriving in gigawatt sizes, not megawatts like in the past. The industry has spent 140 years building the grid we have today, but all signs and DOE studies argue we need to double it in the next 10 years.
Energy abundance is the bedrock of economic growth and affordability for Ohio and the nation.
We know that some of the biggest challenges to our industry are on the horizon as the grid rapidly transforms through decarbonization, decentralization and digitization.
It’s all of our collective responsibility to push boundaries, ask questions, and challenge the status quo. Technology will always be central to these efforts, and effective collaboration is crucial to students’ success.
The promise of fusion is not simply clean energy; it is energy independence. When we master controlled fusion, we unlock a future where global development is no longer constrained by fuel scarcity.
With HVDC America accelerating the next era of electrification, we are stepping into a transformation so massive that missing this conference isn’t an option, it’s a setback!
Powering the Next Great American Grid Revolution
The First Nationally Coordinated Redesign of the U.S. Power Grid — From AC to HVDC
At the 2026 Energy & Mobility Conference, we are featuring HVDC America, a grassroots movement transforming how our nation transmits power. Their mission is nothing less than historic: converting nearly 100,000 miles of aging AC transmission corridors into high-voltage direct current (HVDC) superhighways. This isn’t just an infrastructure upgrade; it’s the backbone of America’s future. HVDC America brings together regulators, utilities, national labs, AI/data-center operators, and engineering leaders to build a resilient, high-capacity grid that can support exploding demand, safeguard national security, and anchor the U.S. in the global energy race.
The Event Powering the Next Great Leap in Infrastructure
Energy & Mobility Conference Supporters
Energy & Mobility: Technology, Systems, and Value Chain builds on more than a decade of legacy from Cleveland’s respected EnergyTech conference, where engineers, innovators, and systems thinkers have tackled the world’s toughest infrastructure challenges. Backed by leading institutions across engineering, aerospace, and government, the event brings together leaders in energy, transportation, aerospace, and advanced systems to build what’s next: a resilient, decentralized grid ready to power a fully electrified economy. This is where that work happens — and where you belong.
