RED Talks Is Looking for the Next Voices Shaping Reliability and Power Systems

Across power generation, transmission, distribution, and industrial operations, some of the most important knowledge never makes it into whitepapers or conference decks. It lives in lived experience – lessons learned on plant floors, in substations, during outages, inspections, failures, and recoveries.

RED Talks exists to capture those conversations.

RED Talks is a curated, long-form video interview series focused on how safety, reliability, and maintenance actually function in the real world. The series features candid, technically grounded conversations with engineers, reliability leaders, maintenance professionals, safety specialists, and subject-matter experts working across power systems, utilities, critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and industrial operations.

Now, RED Talks is opening its next round of speaker consideration.

What is RED Talks?

Each RED Talks episode is a focused, professionally produced conversation designed to explore how work is really done – what works, what breaks, what standards miss, and what experience teaches. Episodes are recorded either in-studio or remotely, edited for clarity and substance, and published to an engaged global audience.

Topics range widely, including:

• Electrical safety and arc flash risk
• Power system reliability and maintainability
• Aging infrastructure and modernization
• Standards such as NFPA 70B, NFPA 70E, and ISO 55000

The common thread is practical expertise. RED Talks is built around conversations with people who have been there and done the work.

A Curated Series, Not an Open Mic

RED Talks is intentionally curated. Guests are selected based on experience, perspective, and the ability to contribute something useful to working professionals in the field.

That curation is what makes the platform valuable – for viewers and for speakers.

Each episode is structured to let experts speak thoughtfully, without constraints or artificial time pressure. The goal is not to “cover everything,” but to surface insight that sticks.

For speakers, this means the conversation is treated with respect. It is researched, moderated, and edited to highlight clarity, nuance, and technical credibility.

Why Speak on RED Talks?

RED Talks reaches an audience that many industry events simply do not.

The RED Talks channel has more than 37,000 subscribers, with viewers spanning utilities, power generation, industrial manufacturing, data centers, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure worldwide. Episodes continue to attract views long after publication, giving speakers sustained visibility rather than a single moment on a stage.

Beyond reach, speakers benefit from:

• Professional production – High-quality video, audio, and editing
• Long-form depth – Space to explain ideas fully, not just headline them
• Targeted audience – Engineers, reliability leaders, and decision-makers who actively seek technical insight
• Lasting presence – Episodes remain accessible on demand long after release
• Credibility by association – Participation in a series known for substance, not hype

For many guests, RED Talks becomes a reference point they share internally, with peers, or with clients as an example of their thinking and experience.

Why Speak on RED Talks?

RED Talks is interested in hearing from professionals who have something real to say about how systems operate, fail, and improve.

That includes, but is not limited to:

• Power system engineers and utility professionals
• Reliability and maintenance leaders
• Safety managers and compliance specialists
• Asset management professionals
• OEM engineers and designers
• Consultants and educators with field experience

You do not need to be a professional speaker. You do need a perspective grounded in experience and a willingness to discuss what actually works.
