HYDROVISION International 2026

The world's largest hydropower conference and exhibition convenes 1,000+ hydropower professionals—engineers, facility operators, project developers, policymakers, and technology innovators—at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, January 20–22, 2026. Integrated with POWERGEN as a dedicated hydropower track, the conference features technical sessions, engineering case studies, and panel discussions addressing dam operations and safety, run-of-river and run-of-canal systems, pumped-storage hydroelectricity, environmental and fish passage solutions, environmental licensing and regulatory frameworks, and emerging hydroelectric technologies for grid stability and resilience. Keynote themes address hydropower's critical role in clean baseload generation, climate adaptation through integrated water management, and decarbonization of electricity systems globally. The program includes Women in Power leadership panels, networking receptions, and vendor exhibitions. The conference positions itself as essential for advancing hydropower's expanding contribution to renewable energy transitions while addressing ecological sustainability and community impact.
