The electric utility industry is being reshaped by forces that are arriving faster than any single strategic plan anticipated. Unprecedented demand from data centers, AI infrastructure, and electrification. Escalating wildfire and extreme weather risk. Aging infrastructure and an increasingly constrained workforce. Mounting affordability pressure. These are not future challenges—they are today's operating reality. This candid executive roundtable brings together top utility leaders to share what they are experiencing on the ground: the decisions that keep them up at night, the strategies they are using to respond, and what they believe the industry must do differently going forward. The format is designed for dialogue—plenty of time for audience Q&A ensures the conversation reflects what is top of mind for attendees, not just the panelists.

Session Takeaways:
- Firsthand perspectives from utility executives on the most pressing challenges facing their organizations right now
- How peer utilities are approaching complex problems including unprecedented load growth, workforce recruitment and retention, extreme weather preparedness, and aging infrastructure
- An open forum for audience-driven Q&A—this is a conversation, not a presentation
