Attendees advanced their careers while participating in the industry’s leading T&D event.

2026 IEEE PES T&D 2026 offered Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for technical session participation and Continuing Education Units (CEUs) upon completion of eligible Tutorials or Plain Talk About The Electric Power courses. These credits helped attendees meet licensing and continuing education requirements for engineers and technical professionals.

What are PDHs and CEUs?

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) – One CEU typically equals 10 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction.

  • CEUs are often used in academic or structured training settings and may be required for maintaining certain certifications.
  • Eligible courses included: Tutorials & Plain Talk About the Electric Power Industry

PDHs (Professional Development Hours) – One PDH equals one hour of instruction or presentation related to professional practice.  State licensing boards commonly require PDHs for engineers and other licensed professionals to renew their licenses.

  • Conversion: 1 CEU = 10 PDHs
  • Eligible technical sessions included: All event technical sessions, panels & Super Sessions.

Exhibit hall activities and networking events do not qualify for credit.
