Join fellow members as we enjoy a private, guided tour inside of the Hoover Dam Powerplant where we will walk through original construction tunnels, visit the viewing platform overlooking a 30 foot diameter penstock pipe where you will feel the vibration created by water rushing through the pipe, and see 8 of the commercial generators in the Nevada Powerhouse. After the hour-long tour, participants may also walk through the Visitor Center and Film, and Observation Deck. Roundtrip bus transportation will be provided. More information on the Hoover Dam may be found here: www.usbr.gov/lc/hooverdam/
Join us in the Baraka Room and Patio at the Westin Las Vegas, to wind down and relax after a day of activities or travel. Catch up with fellow attendees while you enjoy a beverage(or two), and enjoy a bite to eat.
Rock & Roll Under The Stars
Covering multiple genres, our evening will start with dinner and libation followed by a surprise Opening Act to kick off our headliner entertainment, The Shifters! That’s right – the boys are back in town! We will party the night away with dancing and other activities under the stars in an amazing outdoor setting.

Career Success Panel and Discussion
Join PLMA’s Women in Load Flexibility Affinity Group for some early morning networking over breakfast, and an opportunity to hear from two talented colleagues who’ve forged successful load management careers; one from a utility and one from a vendor. They’ll share their personal stories as well as the career skills they’ve honed, lessons they’ve learned, and advice they might give. Grab some breakfast and come join the conversation!

As we race toward 2030 and 2040, rapid advancements in technology, evolving regulatory mandates, and new customer expectations are reshaping how we manage demand and ensure grid reliability. This session brings together leading experts in the load management field to explore what lies ahead, share hard-won lessons, emerging trends, and practical advice for navigating what’s to come. However you are looking to level up your career or impact in shaping tomorrow’s grid, join to learn and discuss the trajectory of load management—and the roles that will shape its future.
