Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo (NECX 2026)

The Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo (NECX) 2026, merging the Nuclear Energy Institute's assembly and American Nuclear Society's conference, takes place August 24–27, 2026 in Dallas, Texas. Launched in 2025 with sold-out attendance, NECX is now North America's largest nuclear industry event, uniting 3,000+ executives, plant managers, engineers, regulators, policymakers, and technology vendors advancing nuclear power's role in decarbonization. The conference features plenary sessions on nuclear policy, regulatory modernization, and climate impact; technical tracks covering reactor operations, maintenance, cybersecurity, supply chain resilience, and workforce development; and sessions on advanced reactor designs and small modular reactor commercialization. Exhibits showcase equipment, services, and technologies supporting the industry. Programming explores nuclear's contribution to grid decarbonization, energy security, industrial heat, and hydrogen production. NECX serves as the industry's primary forum for collaboration on technical challenges, regulatory developments, and strategic opportunities advancing nuclear capacity.
