Sponsor presence, not a booth floor: EEI 2027 in Orlando
EEI's annual conference gathers the CEOs and senior leaders of America's investor-owned electric companies, and suppliers take part as sponsors rather than exhibitors. We build the portable branding, lounge pieces and meeting-suite graphics a sponsorship needs, ready for whichever Orlando venue EEI names.
- June 14–16 · Orlando
- Sponsorship, not booths
- Members serve ~250M Americans
What makes EEI different, and how we build for it
EEI 2027 is not a trade show. The Edison Electric Institute, whose member companies provide electricity for nearly 250 million Americans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, calls it its premier annual conference and thought leadership forum. The people in the room are electric company executives, regulators, policymakers and government leaders, with technology partners invited in. In Las Vegas in 2026 the networking and technology content centered on The Hub, with fireside chats, panels and tech talks on generation, resilience, AI and grid-enhancing technologies, and EEI presented its Edison Award. Suppliers reach this audience through sponsorship, so what Purple builds here is brand presence inside the sponsor's footprint, never a booth floor.
They set capital plans for generation, transmission and grid modernization; they want a short, credible conversation with a partner they will remember, not a product pitch.
They come for the policy conversation; a sponsor's presence should read as a serious contributor to reliability and affordability, in a tone suited to public officials.
They meet utility leaders at The Hub's sessions and tech talks and need a clean, branded setting for a scheduled meeting nearby.
Your team in Orlando
One project manager, two shops, the whole EEI build
We fabricate in our own Fishkill, NY shop and our Las Vegas hub, then ship to Orlando, where our own project manager leads the install with vetted local labor. Expect a 30–45-day build for EEI, secure storage and a pre-show QA.

Inside EEI 2027
Rules that shape your EEI booth
EEI's meetings page offers EEI 2027 sponsorship through its meetings team and lists no exhibit space. We design only what your sponsor agreement covers, from signage to a suite, and never plan a booth EEI does not sell.
EEI lists the meetings included with membership behind a member login, so access and session details reach member companies first. We take the dates and branding rules your EEI contact sends and build the schedule from them.
In 2026 EEI ran its networking and technology content through The Hub, with fireside chats, panels and tech talks. If your sponsorship includes Hub branding, we size backdrops for stage photography and keep them clear of speaker sightlines.
Programs worth planning for
EEI's center for networking and technology-driven content at the 2026 conference, with fireside chats, panels and tech talks on generation, resilience, AI and grid-enhancing technologies.
EEI’s industry award for electric companies; at the 2026 conference Duke Energy won the 98th Edison Award for its DeBary Hydrogen Production and Storage System, with Baltimore Gas & Electric and The AES Corporation as finalists.
EEI 2027 is the leadership meeting of investor-owned electric companies, sold as sponsorship rather than booths; choose it over APPA's National Conference when your buyers are investor-owned utility executives, not public power CEOs.

Case study · Shapoorji Pallonji
Shapoorji Pallonji at an engineering and infrastructure exhibition
A structured, powerful booth for a global engineering group founded in 1865, built to communicate scale, trust and engineering excellence.
Shapoorji Pallonji's exhibit spoke to senior decision makers about scale and trust; an EEI sponsor presence has the same job in a room of electric company CEOs.

04 Designing for technology partners, equipment makers and service firms seeking investor-owned electric company executives at EEI
Four things we get right for EEI exhibitors
1Design for an executive room
EEI's audience is electric company leadership and regulators. We keep sponsor pieces quiet and premium: one message, your logo, fine materials and soft lighting, so the brand reads as a peer in a room of CEOs rather than a vendor shouting across an aisle.
2Brand The Hub conversation
At EEI 2026 The Hub carried fireside chats, panels and tech talks on generation, AI and grid-enhancing technologies. If your sponsorship touches that space, we design backdrops and stage-side panels that photograph well for EEI's own coverage.
3Everything packs into a case
With the 2027 venue not confirmed yet and sponsor spaces usually inside hotel ballrooms and foyers, we build displays that ship in hard cases, assemble without tools and fit through a standard service corridor.
4Plan the private meeting
Executives at EEI book short, scheduled meetings. A hotel suite dressed with your graphics, a screen and a simple story about one utility project often does more than any display in a public foyer.
Concept rendering
Your proposal for EEI includes a rendering like this one
You see your EEI booth in 3D before we cut a single panel: layout, graphics, lighting and product positions, revised until it is right. Shown: a Purple concept for APAR.

Logistics for EEI 2027, handled
EEI has named Orlando and the June 14–16, 2027 dates but not the venue, so we plan EEI sponsor builds for the resort and hotel settings EEI uses, where sponsor elements go into ballrooms, foyers and suites rather than an exhibit hall. Once EEI confirms the venue and your sponsorship benefits, we read the venue's delivery rules, book the receiving window, ship from our Fishkill, NY shop and install with our project manager and local labor arranged for that property. Everything travels in labeled cases, and we strike the same evening the conference closes so nothing sits in a hotel corridor.
What Purple handles
- Premium sponsor panels and logo walls
- Hotel meeting-suite graphics
- Tool-free displays packed in hard cases
- Venue receiving and delivery windows
- Installation and same-day strike
- Brand kit reused at DTECH and APPA National
Your EEI timeline, from move-in back
Design sign-off for EEI is due by early April 2027.

Purple's planning timeline for EEI. Your exhibitor kit and assigned schedule set the official move-in, freight target and order deadlines, and we confirm each one against your booth when you book.

EEI exhibitor questions
Questions exhibitors ask us before EEI
When is EEI 2027?
EEI 2027 takes place June 14–16, 2027 in Orlando, Florida, according to the Edison Electric Institute’s meetings page. EEI calls it its premier annual conference and thought leadership forum, and the 2027 venue is not confirmed yet.
Where is EEI 2027 held?
EEI has announced Orlando, Florida as the city, and the specific 2027 venue is not confirmed yet. We plan sponsor builds that fit a resort ballroom, foyer or suite and finalize details as soon as EEI names the property.
Does EEI 2027 have an exhibit hall?
EEI 2027 has no exhibit hall or booth sales published. Its meetings page offers sponsorship through EEI’s meetings team instead, so Purple’s role is sponsor branding and meeting-suite graphics, not a booth on a trade floor.
How can a supplier take part in EEI 2027?
Through sponsorship: EEI's meetings page directs sponsorship inquiries to its meetings team. Packages and prices are not published online, so the benefits, branding and any display space come from your agreement with EEI, and we build to that.
Who attends EEI 2027?
EEI expects electric company executives, government leaders, technology partners and innovators, policymakers, regulators and other industry stakeholders. Its 2026 highlights describe hundreds of electric company CEOs and senior executives in Las Vegas.
Who organizes EEI 2027?
The Edison Electric Institute, the Washington, D.C. association of America's investor-owned electric companies. EEI says its members provide electricity for nearly 250 million Americans and operate in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
What happened at EEI 2026?
EEI 2026 met in Las Vegas in June 2026. The Hub served as the center for networking and technology content, with fireside chats, panels and tech talks, and Duke Energy received the 98th Edison Award for its DeBary Hydrogen Production and Storage System.
What is The Hub at EEI?
The Hub is EEI's center for networking and technology-driven content at its annual conference. In 2026 it hosted fireside chats, panel discussions and tech talks, which made it the natural meeting point for technology partners and utility leaders.
Is EEI 2027 open to the public?
EEI 2027 is a members-and-invited-stakeholders meeting rather than a public show. EEI members log in to see which meetings their membership includes, and suppliers usually attend as sponsors or technology partners.
What can Purple build for an EEI sponsor?
Freestanding branded panels, lit logo walls, signage, a portable display and graphics for a hotel meeting suite, all packed in cases that suit a resort ballroom. We design within EEI's sponsor benefits and never assume floor space the agreement does not include.
Where should we stay for EEI 2027?
EEI's 2027 hotel arrangements are not confirmed yet because the venue is not named. Once EEI publishes them, book early: June is a busy convention month in Orlando, and staying at the conference property keeps executive meetings simple.
Is EEI 2027 worth it for a supplier?
For companies whose sale is decided at the top of investor-owned utilities, it puts their leadership in the same building as electric company CEOs and regulators. For operations buyers and engineers, DTECH and IEEE PES T&D offer real exhibit floors.
How does EEI compare with APPA's National Conference?
Both meet in Orlando in June 2027, a few days apart. EEI gathers investor-owned electric companies and sells sponsorship, while APPA's National Conference, June 18–23, serves public power CEOs and runs the Industry Innovations Expo with 10×10 and 10×20 booths.
Before you sign for EEI
Ask any EEI exhibit builder these five questions:
- Is every fee on the proposal, including what the EEI show contractor bills?
- Who actually builds it for EEI: your shop or a subcontractor?
- Will your own project manager be at EEI for install and dismantle?
- What exactly is in the rental, and what does EEI bill?
- Where does the booth go after EEI, and what does storage cost?
Common situations
Already own a booth? We refresh the graphics and repair what is worn, then ship it, install it and store it between shows. You keep the structure you paid for and bring it to EEI.
Exhibiting from outside the US? We are your team on the ground in Orlando: freight to the advance warehouse, show-service orders, installation and storage, with one project manager answering your emails in your time zone.
Short on time? In two to three weeks, a rental with your graphics can be ready for Orlando. We tell you on the first call what is realistic for your date.
