DTECH Northeast

2026 DTECH Northeast focuses on the grid challenges specific to the region, from extreme weather to aging infrastructure and interconnection. Utility engineers, executives, and operations managers spend three days in Boston working out how to meet them, comparing what’s working on reliability, resiliency, and AI. At Tabletop 13, we’ll show how Fulcrum puts those same priorities to work in the field, including:

• Storm readiness and restoration. Capturing damage assessments, restoration progress, and pre-work safety checks in the field, even when the network goes down.
• Reliability inspection programs. Pole, substation, and vegetation inspections that feed clean condition data straight into reliability planning.
• Grid modernization fieldwork. Recording equipment upgrades and installations as structured data your engineering and asset teams can use right away.
• Fulcrum AI, hands-on. See Audio FastFill turn a spoken observation into a completed inspection form, then ask Insights about backlogs, damage, and trends in plain language.
• AI workflow building, live. Bring a field process you’ve never managed to digitize, and we’ll build a working Fulcrum app from it using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector and AI Toolkit.

The Fulcrum DTECH Northeast presentation

No, really: How far can AI push fieldwork in the next two years?
Tuesday, November 3, 3:45-4:30 PM ET
Grand Ballroom C&D

Field workers are practical people, and many still feel lucky to trade their clipboards for spreadsheets. They want AI that improves the work in front of them today.

AI is already at work in the field, and its appetite for existing data raises new questions for utilities. Join us as we explore where AI helps fieldwork today and what its data needs mean for your organization. You’ll leave with a roadmap toward AI capabilities and agents that starts now and builds for the future.

Schedule a meeting at 2026 DTECH Northeast

Tabletop conversations at 2026 DTECH Northeast run short, so reserve time for a full walkthrough with our team. Share a few details about your inspection, storm, or reliability programs, and we’ll shape the meeting around your priorities. Meeting slots in Boston are limited, and the earlier you book a 1-on-1, the more options you’ll have.
