“We are a proud veteran-owned small business and are excited to be a part of HYDROVISION, surrounded by all the people who support this proud, growing industry where power producers, suppliers and various manufacturers are all in attendance. One of the things I’m really excited about is not only the growth of hydro, but the opportunities specifically on the West Coast for offshore wind and wave. Being tapped into these renewable opportunities is exactly what people ought to be doing and it starts right here, with people like this at HYDROVISION,” said Michael Moore, Vice President of Business Development at Thompson Metal Fab, Inc.

“We’ve been at HYDROVISION International® every year since its inception and we’ve had the best show we’ve ever had this year. The traffic’s been amazing. Some of the projects and industry knowledge that we’ve gained at this show has been higher than any shows that I have been to to date. This will be a really high return on investment and we look forward to next year’s show,” exclaimed Zack Almont, Power Generation Specialist at Victaulic

“The hydroelectric power generation sector is beginning to make significant investments into digital and automation so it’s an exciting time for companies who deliver products and solutions that enable that transition. The energy at HYDROVISION has been fantastic and it’s been great to see the industry come together after so long. ABB is pleased to have been a part of the event,” added Chadi Mourad, Sales and Business Development Manager for Power Generation and Excitation Systems at ABB.

Over 70 education sessions were available for participants to learn from and stay up to date on the industry’s latest trends and insights. Additionally, attendees and exhibitors had 10 networking events to choose from to connect with old friends, new peers, and potential partners.

We had an incredible turnout with 51% power producers in attendance, 45% of which have open or upcoming projects, reconfirming HYDROVISION International as the leading hydropower event worldwide,” said Desiree Hanson, Executive Vice President for Clarion Events.

“It was such a rewarding experience to be able to bring the hydro community back together face-to-face at HYDROVISION International® and give back to the industry that means so much to all of us.
