SUMMARY:Register Now for The Power Connection 2nd Annual Permian Power Conference – June 8 – June 9, 2026 – Midland, TX
DESCRIPTION:\nThis article is brought to you by: EV, leaders in wellbore & pipeline integrity visual analytics\n\n\n\n2nd Annual Permian Power Conference: Time to PowerJune 8–9, 2026\nHorseshoe Arena | Midland, Texas800+ attendees. 80+ industry-leading speakers. 90+ sponsors. One mission: Time to Power.From ERCOT strategy and behind-the-meter power solutions to microgrids, gas-to-power projects, small modular reactors (SMRs), and AI-driven energy demand, the Permian Power Conference brings together the people building the future of power infrastructure in West Texas.Sponsorship and exhibiting opportunities are limited and expected to sell out quickly. Secure your place today and join the industry’s most influential gathering at the intersection of energy, technology, and infrastructure.\nWhere Energy Meets the AI Revolution\nFollowing a highly successful inaugural event, the Permian Power Conference returns in 2026 with even greater momentum. More than 800 attendees, 90+ sponsors, and 80+ top-tier speakers are expected to convene in Midland to address one of the most important challenges facing the region—and the nation: powering unprecedented growth.\nThe Permian Basin is no longer defined solely by oil and gas production. It is rapidly emerging as a strategic hub for America’s AI infrastructure expansion. In the last six months alone, seven gigawatt-scale AI hyperscale data center campuses have been announced across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico, leveraging abundant energy resources, available land, and a favorable regulatory environment.\nBut understanding how to develop and power these next-generation facilities requires more than attending national technology conferences. The critical decisions surrounding site selection, behind-the-meter generation, grid interconnection, fuel sourcing, fiber connectivity, permitting, and power contracting are being made in the Permian itself.\nThe Industry’s Most Important Conversations—In One Place\nThe energy producers, landowners, power developers, equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, fiber providers, permitting specialists, and ERCOT market experts who shape successful projects will all be in Midland on June 8–9.\nThe Permian Power Conference provides a unique platform where data center developers, operators, investors, and infrastructure providers can engage directly with the supply chain responsible for powering the next generation of AI campuses and industrial facilities.\nAttendees will explore the full spectrum of energy and infrastructure solutions, including:\n\nBehind-the-meter power generation strategies\nPower purchase agreements (PPAs) and tolling structures\nNatural gas and gas-to-power development\nBattery energy storage systems\nMicrogrids and distributed energy resources\nSmall modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced nuclear technologies\nRenewables integration and hybrid energy systems\nFiber infrastructure and digital connectivity\nERCOT market dynamics and interconnection planning\nAI data center development and hyperscale infrastructure\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis conference brings together decision-makers and innovators from across the energy and technology ecosystem, including:\n\nOil and gas producers\nAI and hyperscale data center developers\nTechnology and infrastructure companies\nCryptocurrency and digital asset operators\nRenewable energy developers\nBattery storage providers\nNuclear and advanced energy companies\nUtilities and power marketers\nCapital providers and investors\nGovernment and regulatory stakeholders\nEngineering, procurement, and construction firms\nEquipment manufacturers and service providers\n\n\n\nA Dynamic Conference Experience\nThe 2026 event will feature a highly interactive format designed to maximize learning, networking, and business development opportunities. Each day will be anchored by high-impact main stage discussions, complemented by targeted industry sessions, sponsor-led presentations, and dedicated networking experiences throughout the exhibit hall.\nWhether you are evaluating new projects, seeking strategic partners, exploring emerging technologies, or navigating the rapidly evolving power landscape, the Permian Power Conference is where meaningful connections are made and deals move forward.\nJoin industry leaders in Midland on June 8–9, 2026, and be part of building the resilient Permian power stack of tomorrow.\nJune 6, 2026 | Pre-Conference\nStart Time Description\n12:00 pm\nOutdoor Equipment Expo Set Up Begins\n4:00 pm\nIndoor Trailer Move-In Begins\n7:00 pm\nIndoor Trailer Move-In Ends\n8:00 pm\nOutdoor Equipment Expo Set Up Ends\nJune 7, 2026 | Pre-Conference\nStart Time Description\n10:00 am\nOutdoor Equipment Expo Set Up Begins\n10:00 am\nIndoor Booth Set Up Begins\n7:00 pm\nIndoor Booth & Outdoor Equipment Expo Set Up Ends\nJune 8, 2026 | Conference Day 1\nStart Time Description\n8:00 am\nIndoor Exhibit Booth Set Up\nSetup times from 8am to 1:00pm\n8:00 am\nOutdoor Equipment Expo Set Up\nSetup available from 8am to 10am\n10:30 am\nWelcoming Remarks\nMain Stage\nPete Cook, Managing Partner, The Power Connection\nJoseph Triepke, Managing Partner, The Power Connection\n10:45 am\nKeynote Kick Off\nMain Stage\nBill Kleyman, Founder, Apolo and Data Center Industry Leader\n11:00 am\nOutdoor Equipment Expo Open\nOutdoor Expo Times: 11:00am-6:30pm\n11:00 am\nThe New Power Equation: Data Centers, Utilities, and Energy Producers in the AI Era\nMain Stage\nBill Kleyman, Founder, Apolo and Data Center Industry Leader [M]\nDado Slezak, EVP, Energy Capital & Strategy, QTS Data Centers\nAdam Lavallee, Global Business Development Manager – AI Factories, Emerson\nDean Nelson, Founder & Chairman, iMasons\n11:45 am\nIMason’s “State of the Industry Report” for Digital Infrastructure\nMain Stage\nDean Nelson, Founder & Chairman, iMasons\n12:15 pm\nBridging the 5-Year Gap: Critical Elements of BTM Power Systems for Data Centers\nMain Stage\nMark Alvarez, Head of Surplus Property, Energy & Infrastructure, Newmark [M]\nJJ King, Executive Vice President, Commercial & Marketing, WTG Energy\nAnthony Orso, President, Newmark Capital Markets Strategies\nNina Sadighi, Founder & Principal Engineer, Eradeh Power Consulting\nFrank Donnelly, President, Ally Global and former President North America for Wartsila\nErika Young, Director, Business Development, Natural Gas Piplines, Kinder Morgan\n1:00 pm\nNetworking Lunch at the Outdoor Equipment Expo\n1:30 pm\nIndoor Exhibit Hall Opens\n1:45 pm\nThe Long Game: Grid or BTM?\nPower Up Stage\nHenry Graterol, CEO, G+R Power\nKevin Yung, Chief Engineer & Development Officer, Priority Power\nLawrence Downing, President, Downing Power Consulting, Inc.
