The Utility Expo offers a unique attendee experience
This was my first year to attend The Utility Expo. I was amazed at all the equipment and vendors. I have been to TechAdvantage several times as well as other expos. The Utility Expo was completely different. It was truly a site to see. I will be sure to attend from now on, especially since this is in my backyard.
