International Conference on Advances in Materials, Manufacturing & Repair for Power Plants<\/h1>

\"\"<\/strong>Join industry leaders and innovators at the 11th International Conference on Advances in Materials, Manufacturing & Repair for Power Plants, taking place June 8\u201310, 2027, at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona.<\/p>

As the global energy sector undergoes transformation, the demand for safe, reliable, efficient, and environmentally responsible power generation has never been greater. The safe and affordable operation of today\u2019s and tomorrow\u2019s power infrastructure depends on continued advancement in materials and manufacturing technologies, which serve as key enabling technologies for the development of high-efficiency power conversion systems.<\/p>

Organized jointly by EPRI and ASM International, this conference builds on a distinguished legacy dating back to EPRI\u2019s inaugural event in 1987. Since then, the conference has rotated internationally across Europe, the United Kingdom, North America, and the Pacific with the most recent conference held in California (2025), bringing together experts from industry, research institutions, and academia. The 2027 conference will continue this tradition by providing a premier forum for sharing the latest technical developments, operational experience, and research advancements in materials technology for power generation.<\/p>

Technical Focus & Conference Themes<\/h3>

The conference will highlight advancements in materials, manufacturing, performance, and repair technologies for both conventional and emerging power systems, including steam power systems (HRSGs, boilers, and steam turbines), gas turbines, concentrating solar power (CSP), geothermal energy, small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced nuclear technologies, sCO\u2082 power cycles, advanced ultra-supercritical (A-USC) steam systems, and hydrogen and bulk thermal energy storage technologies.\"\"<\/p>

The technical program will focus on key areas including:<\/p>
