Attendees will also find a more diverse and targeted education schedule than ever before, and several industry certification programs and exams will be offered.

ICUEE 2013 will be held October 1-3, 2013 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky.

“Utilities and contractors come to ICUEE to see the latest in equipment and products that can improve efficiency and profitability; hands-on demos help attendees better evaluate and compare product capabilities across multiple brands,” stated Sara Truesdale Mooney, ICUEE show director.

“They are also looking to improve their operational proficiency and jobsite safety; ICUEE’s educational and safety-related opportunities help attendees learn about best practices and improve their safety awareness and skills,” Mooney said.

Mooney noted that continued robust education ticket sales underscored the relevancy of topics to industry professionals. Leading industry groups are co-locating education programs and events at the show that focus on specific industry sectors, adding to the information exchange and networking.

Check Out These Safety and Equipment Demo Opportunities

The new ICUEE indoor demo stage for educational product demonstrations complements the outdoor equipment demos that are a hallmark of the show; it is centrally located on the show floor.

The iP Utility Safety Zone pavilion, from Incident Prevention magazine, gathers together exhibitors with products/services focused on incident prevention and jobsite safety.

The NCCCO Lift Safety Zone pavilion, from the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators, will spotlight NCCCO certification programs designed specifically for the utility industry. The zone will feature live demos of the programs’ practical CCO examinations, including the new certification for service truck crane operators, as well as certifications for digger derrick and articulating crane operators and riggers (level I and level II).

The Pike Electric High Voltage Simulator will present “live line” demonstrations throughout the show to highlight the dangers of working with high voltage.

The ICUEE Ride & Drive test track expands the show’s hands-on concept to on-road commercial vehicles. Attendees can take to the “open road” to better evaluate trucks, truck engines and components.

ICUEE targets utilities and utility contractors in the following sectors: electric, telecommunications, wastewater, water, natural gas, cable, and rail.
