As our profession evolves, so do the educational needs of Plant Owners, Power Engineers, and Maintenance Professionals who operate and maintain our plants in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.
The Power Engineering Field is evolving daily, and the 2024 Operators and Power Engineers Conference is the best way to stay current with the changing environment we all find ourselves in. Being an operating engineer in a steam or refrigeration plant is not just about operating plants; it is also about the staff who work in our plants and the maintenance involved in keeping them running safely. Our primary role is “Public Safety,” which includes the safety of our plant staff and the general public. We cannot do this unless our plants are maintained in a safe operational condition.
Changes in our environment are affecting the way we do business now and in the future. New technologies and regulations will impact your business. How we adapt to changing workforces and attract new highly qualified staff are all challenges we now face.
The 2024 Operators and Power Engineers Conference is open to any Plant Owner or Owner Representative, Power Engineers, Operating Engineers or others who show a strong desire to expand their understanding of power engineering and who desire to become leaders in our profession, maintenance persons who help to manage plant maintenance programs and to government officials who have a strong interest in plant and public safety. This also includes, but is not limited to, Professional Engineers, Maintenance Superintendents, Maintenance Supervisor, Maintenance Foreman, suppliers, etc…
