2026 Technical & Operations Conference Trade Show


Wednesday, December 9, 2026
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (CST)
Category: Trade Show

The Technical & Operations Conference (or "T&O") is a not-to-be-missed event for managers, crew leads, lineworkers, and others in the municipal utility industry. The trade show held during the conference is the perfect opportunity to share your products and services with the public power professionals attending the conference.

The T&O trade show and reception will be held on Wednesday, December 9, 2026, at the Holiday Inn & Suites in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Extended exhibit option

Registering for the trade show—as always—is a worthwhile opportunity to meet with key accounts and potential new clients. Do you want more time with attendees? Extend your trade show experience for one, two or even three days!

MMUA is offering a limited number of tables for exhibiting companies to display their products/services throughout the three-day conference. Tables will be located just outside of the ballroom allowing you to meet with customers during breaks.

Available exhibit hours include:
Tuesday, December 8: 11:30 am to 5:00 pm (conference registration opens at noon)
Wednesday, December 9: 8:00 am to 7:00 pm*
Thursday, December 10: 8:00 am to 12:00 pm (conference adjourns at noon)

*The trade show will be held in another area of the hotel starting at 5:00 pm, so a move will be required.

Registration for the extended stay option includes the Tuesday reception, Wednesday luncheon and trade show, and refreshment breaks.
