POWER-GEN International, one of the largest power industry exhibitions and conferences in the nation, will be held Nov. 12-14, 2013, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. This year, the notable event will celebrate its 25th anniversary and provide comprehensive coverage of the latest trends and technologies facing the power generation sector today through education, networking and new business development.

POWER-GEN will bring together over 22,000 power professionals from 75 different countries to share their interests and expertise and experience the show's many offerings. The event will also feature more than 1,400 exhibiting companies showcasing their state-of-the-art products and services -- all with a key emphasis on new resolutions and innovations for the future.

With more than 50 educational sessions broken up into 13 tracks, the event's conference will host over 200 speakers and presenters addressing a wide range of important subjects concerning the power industry, including plant performance, on-site power, fossil technologies, emissions control, environmental issues, and gas turbine technologies.

The convention will also feature networking breakfasts for attendees to discuss current topics with other colleagues; technical tours of infrastructure development at sites around the region; a keynote session highlighting different industry advancements; online conference proceedings for research and educational purposes; and Competitive Power College workshops where participants can learn and engage with others in interactive lectures. Attendees registered as Full Conference Delegates are eligible to receive 10 hours of Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits as well.

Matching more qualified buyers and sellers than any other power event, POWER- GEN is designed to connect key suppliers and service providers with influential industry decision makers. Further, the exhibit hall will feature a number of product launches and unveilings for new equipment such as boilers, turbines, engines, boiler water and feedwater treatment services, computer hardware and software, controls and instrumentation systems, engineering and construction services, generators, plant electrical systems, pumps, valves and valve actuators, and more.

POWER-GEN International is a part of POWER GENERATION WEEK, a five-day event combining PGI with three other shows -- NUCLEAR POWER International, Renewable Energy World Conference & Expo North America and POWER-GEN Financial Forum -- to provide attendees and exhibitors more than 70 conference sessions over three full exhibition days.

Included in registration, NUCLEAR POWER International will offer nuclear power industry leaders a venue to gather and exchange information about nuclear power's role in today's ever- changing market. Likewise, Renewable Energy World Conference & Expo North America is also included and will feature insightful discussions and presentations related to technology, markets, business strategies, and policy covering the wind, solar, biomass, hydro, geothermal, ocean/tidal/wave, bio-power, bio-fuels, hydrogen, and energy sectors. POWER-GEN Financial Forum, upgradable for full PGI conference attendees, will further combine the learning and networking experiences of the convention with the opportunity to conduct business one-on-one with the world's top engineering, procurement and construction firms, as well as with hundreds of original equipment manufacturers and suppliers.
