The summit took place October 13–14, 2026.

The summit was held at ICF Corporate Headquarters in Reston, Virginia.

Expected attendees included federal, state, and local government representatives, market operators, utilities, power producers, and energy industry professionals in policy and regulatory affairs.

Utility, regulator and policy gatherings usually call for business professional dress, meaning suits or blazers with dress shirts or equivalent. October in Virginia can be cool, so a light overcoat is a practical addition.

As a two-day event in its 2nd year, hosted at ICF headquarters in Reston, it was a smaller room than a national energy trade show, so equipment vendors or anyone seeking a large exhibit floor would have gotten less from it.
