"Every time I am here I learn so much about the industry and new technologies that I can apply to the plant I am at. MY favorite part of POWERGEN is the networking. Coming here and meeting professionals in the industry equips me to do my job better."
Lloyd Chambers
"It's my first time at POWERGEN. I'm having a great time walking around and seeing all of the booths in the exhibit hall and everything that everybody's trying to sell me, as well as a lot of very useful technical presentations. My particular favorite has been the carbon capture track, but they've all been good that I've attended so far."

“This is my first year at POWERGEN and so far I can just say, wow, this event is huge. I never thought I would have access to so many different vendors and it's just so many different experts in the energy industry by coming to an event like this. Personally, I work in sustainability. So I have a little bit of a different perspective coming to an event like this. But it has been great to connect with people and see some of the brightest in the industry.”
