Scaling the Next Nuclear Fleet
De‑risking design, regulation, and delivery so projects are both buildable and bankable
NRG Center, Houston - June 16-17, 2027
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.

Key Questions Answered
What must utilities, EPCs, OEMs, and policymakers do differently for the US to become a genuine nuclear build powerhouse within the next 3–5 years?
Which specific regulatory and permitting changes will actually shorten timelines and reduce uncertainty for nuclear project sponsors and builders?
How should design choices, standardization, and SMR concepts reshape nuclear project delivery, construction risk, and supply chain strategy?
How should risk be allocated across utilities, EPCs, OEMs, and investors under today’s contract norms so projects are deliverable and still financeable?
What funding and bankability models—credits, guarantees, new offtake structures—will unlock FOAK and early commercial nuclear projects?

NETWORKING
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.
Unlock premium networking opportunities with the 1-1 meeting service: Our 1-2-1 meetings team will work with you to identify key attendees/companies you’d like to meet from our attendee list, they will then work on your behalf to secure a series of face-to-face meetings onsite at the event (either at your booth or the dedicated meetings lounge).
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.
