Why Attend

It’s Where the Power Community Comes Together

With multiple events all in one location, the Distributed Energy Conference dives into real-life applications, project planning, and business and financial aspects of distributed energy. It facilitates the conversations necessary to manage the global energy transition to cleaner power sources, bringing together utility- and small-scale power generators with vendors, suppliers, and partners across distributed generation.

Attendee activations and what makes the Distributed Energy Conference the place for small- to utility-scale power generators to meet, connect, and advance their facilities towards a cleaner energy future:

  • Co-location of Experience POWER, which covers the full energy landscape from traditional central power stations and grid infrastructure to distributed energy resources and the hydrogen economy
  • Editors’ Studio where the POWER editors will record live podcasts, interviews, and more directly from the exhibit floor
  • Award-winning POWER editors contribute to the program and moderate each session
  • Enhanced networking with receptions both on and off the exhibit floor
  • Co-location of HydrogeNext, bringing together the power and chemical process industries to collaborate and learn about the fast-paced advances being made toward a hydrogen economy

A plant manager’s job used to be focused on keeping the plant running as the main goal. Today, the plant manager has many different priorities, and this year’s Plant Management Institute will focus on topics crucial to performing the responsibilities and tasks required of plant managers and their management team. Moderated by a Plant Management Institute Board Member, this meeting will be held as a roundtable, allowing for open and honest discussion between peers.
