      Supporting the Next Generation of Energy Project & Plant Professionals 

      Each year a portion of the profits from the event are donated to local colleges and universities to provide scholarships for students who choose to take a degree course focussed on a career in the industrial industries in the Gulf Coast. 

      This year we were pleased to increase our contribution even further by donating $20,000 across four educational foundations, including: SOWELA, Nunez Community College, McNeese University & the Port Arthur Education Foundation. 

      We'd like to thank all our sponsors, exhibitors and event attendees whose support makes these donations possible and we look forward to continuing to invest in these amazing institutions next year.
