About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe Operations, Maintenance & Safety Conference (OMS) is the American Clean Power Association's (ACP) annual gathering focused on the people and practices that keep America's clean energy infrastructure running. OMS delivers practical training, expert-led sessions, and live demonstrations designed to grow and support the teams keeping America's energy infrastructure running at its best, as electricity demand accelerates and operational excellence becomes more important than ever.
The event convenes clean energy professionals across wind, solar, and battery storage — from headquarters leaders to field technicians. ACP's Operations, Maintenance and Safety Conference is the place where industry leaders—from headquarters to the field—gather to discuss safety best practices, workforce development, and optimizing operational assets at facilities. Programming spans four core tracks: Safety, Operations & Asset Performance, Workforce Development, and the on-floor PowerCast Stage.
Attendees come to network with peers, learn from real-world case studies, and evaluate the latest O&M technologies on the show floor. The conference offers a chance to network with peers, attend expert panels, participate in ACP member committee meetings, and visit exhibitors to share lessons learned, generate new ideas, and identify new partners. With practical field-focused content and a large exhibition, OMS is a valuable stop for anyone responsible for the safety, reliability, and performance of renewable energy assets.
