We're excited to announce our participation in DTECH Reliability & Resiliency 2026, taking place August 25-27, 2026, at the Marriott Marquis Chicago.
Hosted by Exelon, DTECH Reliability & Resiliency brings together utility executives, engineers, regulators, and technology innovators to explore how to build a more secure, dependable, and adaptable grid. Through utility-led case studies, closed-door roundtables, and interactive sessions, the program tackles real-world challenges, from wildfire and storm preparedness to DER integration, grid hardening, and affordability.
Representing LiveEO on-site throughout the event will be Grace Zarzecki, Account Executive, Americas; Eve Egdmann, Senior Product Manager, Treeline; Andreas Naujoks, Director of Marketing; and Charlie Hoffman, Customer Success Manager.
Sponsoring the Wildfire & Weather Emergency Response Summit
This year, LiveEO is proud to be the exclusive sponsor of the Wildfire & Weather Emergency Response Summit, a dedicated track within DTECH Reliability & Resiliency that brings together utility leaders and industry experts to address the intensifying risks of wildfire and extreme weather.
Grace Zarzecki, Account Executive, Americas, will open the Summit:
- 12:30–12:35 PM — Opening Remarks: Redefining Wildfire & Weather Emergency Response
Eve Egdmann, Senior Product Manager, Treeline, and Andreas Naujoks, Director of Marketing, will then take the stage together:
- 3:15–3:45 PM — Wildfire Frontiers: Local Risk, Smarter Vegetation Intelligence, and Practical Next Steps
Drawing on insights from the inaugural Wildfire Frontiers Summit, Eve and Andreas will discuss how span-level vegetation and fuel intelligence can be integrated with asset, weather, and capital planning data to better understand risk, prioritize mitigation efforts, and strengthen long-term resilience.
Why Wildfire and Weather Resilience Matter
As wildfire risk and extreme weather events continue to intensify, utilities must strengthen grid resilience while balancing reliability, affordability, and evolving regulatory expectations. Vegetation encroachment remains one of the leading causes of outages and wildfire ignition risk, and utilities are increasingly challenged by:
- Vast, geographically dispersed networks
- More frequent and severe wildfire and storm events
- Rising regulatory and public scrutiny
- Labor shortages and budget constraints limiting field inspections
Our satellite-powered vegetation management solution, Treeline, helps utilities move from reactive trimming cycles to proactive, condition-based risk management, delivering continuous, network-wide visibility without adding headcount.
Let's Connect in Chicago
We look forward to sharing our perspective on wildfire and weather emergency preparedness alongside utility leaders, regulators, and technology innovators at DTECH Reliability & Resiliency 2026.
