AEIC convenes senior utility operations leaders and the practitioner communities that support them. Partnership here is educational, practitioner-focused, and non-commercial, built to deliver real value to members and to earn trust through credible contribution.
AEIC uses the word partner deliberately. Industry participation should be educational, practitioner-focused, and aligned to member value. The strongest partners bring data, lessons learned, benchmarks, technology insight, or implementation experience.
This is not a pay-to-pitch model. Direct product demonstrations and sales presentations are not appropriate unless AEIC explicitly scopes them as part of a program. Lead with what utility members can learn, and let relationship-building follow from credible contribution.

Participants focused on grid modernization, data-informed operations, forecasting, technology enablement, and cross-functional execution.
Begin with a defined engagement and build toward broader opportunities over time. This protects member trust and lets partners demonstrate fit through useful contribution.

A few shared principles keep AEIC's member-led environment strong and help partner engagement strengthen the utility conversation.
The best partner moments give utilities something to put to work: best practices, lessons learned, data, technology insight, and real implementation experience. We keep the focus there rather than on direct sales.
We shape partner participation, speaking roles, materials, branding, and onsite presence together. AEIC carries the final editorial call on agenda placement, program language, and member-facing materials, which is what keeps the environment member-led.
Partnership reflects a company's support for AEIC's mission. It is not an endorsement of any product, service, or purchasing decision.
Speaking roles, panels, podcasts, and reports open up when they fit the package and bring something members can use. These spots are limited, so we match them to the content most valuable to utilities.
