Welcome to the Nuclear Engineering & Construction Conference & Expo
America aims to deploy 35 GW of new nuclear capacity by 2035—a target requiring an unprecedented construction acceleration.
To reach this target and secure partnerships, the Nuclear Engineering & Construction Conference will unite project owners, EPCs, OEMs, regulators, and financiers under one roof.
Tackle construction, engineering, site selection, off-take, licensing, contracting, and capital allocation challenges head-on to take your project to the next level.
The time is now for nuclear. Join us at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, this June 16-17.
Meet your Project Partner, Find your Nuclear Project Solutions

400+ industry leading exhibitors will be showcasing the very latest in cutting edge technology, equipment and services for the energy projects industry.
Whether you're looking for the latest in engineering, construction, operations or maintenance solutions to support your major energy project, the very best suppliers in our exhibition hall in 2025.
Over 250+ world-leading speakers featuring the most senior energy project executives in North America will be sharing their knowledge and experience directly with you.
Through a series of keynote speakers, panel sessions, presentations, workshops, and seminars you'll have the opportunity to hear from the best of the best in the energy projects industry, ensuring you'll walk away with the key knowledge you need to supercharge your project plans.
With 10,000+ energy project professionals in attendance, this event is the largest of its kind in the world. At no other event will you have the opportunity to meet as many project and plant executives across 5 major energy project industries.
$200 billion+ of proposed capital spending will be represented in the room, providing an unmissable opportunity to meet and form lasting business relationships with the key decision-makers working directly on America's most important projects.
Owner engagement and participation makes this a must attend event for the industry!
The networking sessions were incredibly fruitful, allowing me to connect with fellow professionals, potential contractors, and thought leaders in the field. The collaborative atmosphere andthe willingness of attendees to share ideas and solutions were truly inspiring!
The invitees and participants encompassed large players of industry both on the owner and contractor side of the business. This is very beneficial for the networking and relationship building with future prospects.
This event provides an excellent opportunity to showcase your services and experience learning more about ongoing projects
The LNG Export 2024 left me incredibly impressed by the caliber of industry leaders and the valuable insights they shared. The conference provided a fantastic platform for learning, networking, and staying ahead of the curve in this dynamic industry. If you're involved in the LNG sector, I highly recommend attending LNG Export in the future
A wonderful event if you are looking to engage with the EPC world.......The EPC show truly provides a real networking opportunity and connects to service providers who actually contribute to constructing projects in some form.
For me it was invaluable! I thoroughly enjoyed the networking and collaboration opportunities about specific related focus points for Operating & Maintaining LNG facilities
I thoroughly enjoyed the EPC Conference. It was a well-managed event that offered valuable networking opportunities and insightful information from knowledgeable speakers and panel discussions. A truly worthwhile experience
An incredibly well-run show, even before we got to Houston for the event. The collaboration and conversations we were able to have at our booth and through the matchmaking service were very valuable
This conference was great and far exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed the variety of speakers and topics

Spotlight your brand and enhance your networking with sponsorship opportunities
The Nuclear Engineering & Construction show is the number one event for meeting SAF project developers, owner/operators, EPCs, offtakers, licensors and regulators. Here's how you can make the most of the experience through sponsorship:
-
Showcase your technology in the exhibition: With 40% of the audience being owner/operators or EPCs, there's no better place to showcase your solutions!
-
Host a solution-led workshop: Share your expertise in an interactive workshop discussion with project leaders.
-
Deliver a case study: Complex projects need cutting-edge solutions, showcase a success story on how you delivered projects on time and budget.
-

Nuclear Engineering & Construction is Part of the Energy Projects Conference & Exhibition
The Nuclear Engineering and Construction Conference & Exhibition is part of the Energy Projects Show (EPC Show), the largest event in North America for professionals working at the heart of major energy projects.
Bringing together 6 leading conferences under one roof for the first time, the EPC show will unite 10,000+ engineering, construction, commissioning, supply chain, operations & maintenance professionals to show you how to deliver and operate major energy projects successfully in today's complex environment.
Why bring multiple communities together? Well, whether you face challenges related to craft labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, escalating costs, contracting strategies, regulatory approval, site selection, operational efficiency, and more, the event will connect you with world-leading speakers, experts, consultants, technology, equipment, and solution providers who will provide you with the tools to take your energy project to the next level.
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.
