August 26, 2026
Grand Horizons Ballroom DEFG
Keynote , Reliability & Resiliency

Keeping the lights on is no longer just an engineering challenge for utilities of all types, and that’s partly because reliability isn't just one thing. It’s a dynamic endeavor that requires a complex alignment of infrastructure, operations, regulation, and training. More than that, it demands that individuals, teams, and entire organizations rethink reliability and resiliency from the ground up, which is exactly what the team at ComEd is doing.

In this opening keynote, Mark Baranek, SVP of Technical Services at ComEd, will describe how the organization is defining reliability across the enterprise in a way that aligns internal operations and clarifies external expectations. He'll share ComEd’s approach on how that defines these initiatives, offering transferable lessons for peer utilities and insights for technology leaders looking to integrate with the modern grid.
