All GridFWD events bring together real-world insights and solutions for the grid’s biggest opportunities and challenges. This year’s Innovation Pavilion invites energy system participants to showcase the affordability business case of their “in the field” technical, process and business solutions. Pavilion participants will include their business cases in the GridFWD event app, present on the Pavilion stage, run demos in the Pavilion room, and receive three business case coaching sessions before the event. Demos are short, casual, and designed for interaction and discussion with event attendees.
The call for applications for the Innovation Pavilion closed April 24, 2026.
Thank you for your interest in the Innovation Pavilion. If you submitted an application, our program team will contact you by May 29, 2026 to let you know if you have been selected.
Our first Innovation Pavilion at GridFWD 2025 turned into one of the most popular aspects of the event experience. Attendees loved the ability to engage with peers who were able to share their solutions and explain how they work, all in a low-pressure “no sales talk” environment. If you are attending GridFWD 2026, get a close look at technology, process and business solutions that are helping to make the most of grid investments and keep energy affordable.
