Innovation Labs are where UA Week attendees become active participants in shaping the future of the utility industry.

Choose a Challenge Zone aligned with the issues that matter most to your organization and collaborate with peers from across the industry to identify barriers, share experiences, and develop practical solutions. Each Innovation Lab is designed to encourage meaningful discussion, real-world problem solving, and actionable takeaways that attendees can bring back to their organizations.

Example Challenge Zones could include: (specific topics to come soon...)

Each lab will culminate in a live showcase of key ideas and recommendations, with attendees voting on the most impactful innovations. Together, we'll identify the challenges that matter most and uncover the solutions that can move the industry forward.

One community. Multiple challenges. Endless possibilities for innovation.
