Clarion Events Announces Integration of HYDROVISION International® and POWERGEN International® Events – Happening February 11-13, 2025

October 14, 2024 – After careful consideration of the changing requirements in the hydropower market and the broader energy sector, Clarion Events, Inc. announced today that HYDROVISION International® will be integrated into POWERGEN International® as a dedicated neighborhood featuring specialized hydropower content, sourcing, and networking opportunities.  

This decision follows extensive discussions with our customers and colleagues and thorough market research to determine how best to support the future of power generation, especially for the hydropower community. While it will no longer be a standalone event, hydropower remains a vital component of the power generation mix. Through this new alignment, we are committed to providing an enhanced platform for this critical sector while maintaining the high-quality content, business connections, and peer-to-peer networking that you have come to expect from HYDROVISION.  

Hydro Review®, the premier source for global news, products, services, and insights related to hydropower and dams, will continue to be a key resource. It will continue its focus on essential topics such as equipment, operations and maintenance, rehabilitation, dam safety, environmental impacts, regulation, marine energy, and research.  

POWERGEN International® is the primary business hub for power generation professionals, bringing together power producers, utilities, EPCs, consultants, OEMs, and large-scale energy users. With this integration, our objective is to deliver greater value to hydropower professionals by providing the hydropower industry with a broader platform to explore innovative solutions within the evolving energy landscape.  

POWERGEN International® will take place February 11-13, 2025, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas.  

As part of this integration, we are thrilled to introduce new HYDROVISION programming within POWERGEN 2025. This includes the new Hydroelectric topic and the conference track Exploring Trends in Hydropower, designed to dive deep into the latest advancements, challenges, and trends in the sector. Attendees can also take part in focused discussions during our Hydropower Breakfast Roundtables, featuring two compelling topics: Best Practices for Refurbishing Aging Hydro Facilities and The Latest on Policies and Regulations Affecting U.S. Hydro.

"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 so many different experts in the energy industry by coming to an event like this."

"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."

"Hi, I’m Chad Lemoine with Entergy... here as a corrective actions program specialist. It’s my first time at POWERGEN, so it’s been great for networking. I’ve met personnel at our plants I’d only talked to on the phone, so that face-to-face interaction has been really good. I’ve enjoyed meeting new people, learning about what they do, and how it interacts with my work... Overall, it's been a really good time."

"I think my favorite part of the conference has been essentially the Smarter Power Plant Track. There's been a lot of good [takeaways] for us because our plans are quite old, so there's a lot of manual readings and things, but me being the IT generation, I think it could be done better. So having a lot of these [takeaways] from companies who have [accomplished what] we are wanting to do is great. It's been really eye opening networking with all of the exhibitors [as well]. It's my first time here, but I don’t think it's going to be my last."

“Nel’s chosen to sponsor and be part of POWERGEN because it's one of the more important shows in the hydrogen market, also the power generation market in general. Over the years, we've seen a shift in POWERGEN from more traditional power generation to a greater presence with renewables, and now with hydrogen, as an energy source, moving into the future.” 
Chris Van Name
Nel Hydrogen
“We're here today at the conference because I believe this is the largest power generation conference there is in the country. One, it's a way to get our name out and that's why we're sponsoring it. But two, it's also a great way to connect with other groups, other organizations and, you know, meet the people who are actually important for our own progression as a company.” 
James Walker
Nano Nuclear Energy, Inc
“We come to POWERGEN every year because it's a great show you can make great contacts in the renewable space, great contacts in the data center space, great contacts in the commercial industrial space. So that's why we're here every year. You should be here too.”
