On behalf of WiNUP, we are delighted to invite you to join us at the WiNUP Annual Conference, taking place September 20-23, 2026, at the Crowne Plaza in Indianapolis, Indiana. This year's theme--Moving Forward and Preparing for the Future--highlights the innovative thinking, resilience, and collective progress that continue to shape the utility industry.

What is the WiNUP Conference?


Throughout the conference, professionals from across utilities will come together to exchange ideas, share real-world experiences, and explore strategies for empowering and supporting women as we navigate the evolving landscape of power and utilities. Whether you are looking to expand your network, gain new insights, or contribute to the future of women's leadership, we would be thrilled to have you with us.
