The Power Progress Networking Forum is a first-of-its-kind networking event for the engine and powertrain industry that will take place Oct. 6th, in Louisville, Ky., USA, the day prior to the opening of the Utility Expo. The event will connect attendees (delegates) who are actively seeking new partners, products and solutions with companies who could fulfill their needs. Delegates are matched with suppliers for a series of face-to-face meetings based on mutual interest. Prescheduled, structured, one-on-one meetings will foster targeted, high-value connections within a focused industry setting.
The forum is part of the 90th anniversary celebration of Power Progress (formerly Diesel Progress) and will be hosted by the team at Power Progress, Power Progress International and KHL Group.
Registration is free for delegates and includes access to targeted presentations, networking events and refreshments and the exclusive 90th Anniversary Celebration where we toast the past, present and future of Power Progress.
