SYTE Corp is proud to announce our upcoming attendance at the landmark 49th AABE National Conference. Organized by the American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE), this year’s event centers on a powerful theme: “The Energy Renaissance: Driving Change, Empowering Communities, and Leading Sustainability.”
Set to take place from April 12–15, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, the conference arrives at a pivotal moment for the U.S. power grid. As electricity demand continues to surge—driven by the rise of data centers and industrial reshoring—this event will serve as a high-stakes forum for over 1,700 energy professionals, policymakers, and industry leaders.
The “Energy Renaissance” theme signals a fundamental shift in our industry. As utilities move toward aggressive infrastructure expansion, AABE’s programming focuses on ensuring this transition is both inclusive and equitable. By prioritizing community empowerment alongside technical advancement, the conference aims to bridge the gap between large-scale utility requirements and the people they serve.
For SYTE Corp and our partners, this gathering offers critical insights as our industry evolves:
- Supply Chain Resilience: Deep dives into domestic supply chain strength and new regulatory standards.
- Workforce Development: Strategies for building a sustainable, skilled workforce for the next generation of infrastructure.
- National Leadership: An opportunity to lead alongside thought leaders from across the nation during a historic period of capital investment.
We look forward to joining our peers in New Orleans to help shape a more resilient and inclusive energy future.
