About this venue

NRG Center is a large convention and exhibition facility within the wider NRG Park complex in south Houston, which also includes NRG Stadium and NRG Arena. The complex sits inside Loop 610 between Kirby Street and Fannin Street and hosts trade shows, conventions, and major public events throughout the year. Note: the 2026 edition of the show was held at the George R. Brown Convention Center; the upcoming edition is scheduled for NRG Center.

Parking

NRG Park operates large on-site surface lots serving NRG Center, with capacity for roughly 26,000 vehicles across the complex. Event-day parking is typically around $25 per vehicle and is card-only (subject to change). NRG Center events use Gate 10 at the corner of Kirby and McNee. No overnight parking is permitted, and on-street parking in the surrounding area is very limited. Spaces at nearby garages and lots can be reserved in advance through services such as SpotHero and ParkMobile.

Getting there

NRG Park is well served by public transit: the Houston METRO METRORail Red Line has a stop directly at NRG Park, making it a convenient option on event days. By car, the complex is inside Loop 610 between Kirby and Fannin, though local traffic can be heavy during events. Rideshare and hotel shuttles are widely available. For air travel, William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) is roughly 12–14 miles away, and George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) also serves the Houston metro area.

EPC | Energy Projects Conference & Expo 2027

Jun
16

The Energy Projects Conference & Expo (EPC Show) is positioned as the largest global event for professionals working on major energy projects. It brings together five specialist conferences under one roof — LNG Export, Power Generation, Petrochemical & Refining, Nuclear Power, and Midstream — uniting engineering, construction, commissioning, supply chain, and operations & maintenance professionals across the entire project lifecycle. The audience skews heavily toward decision-makers. The organizer reports that roughly **40% of attendees are owner/operators or EPC contractors**, alongside OEMs, financiers, regulators, and technology and solution providers. Programming is curated by owner/operator advisory boards, so sessions target the real commercial, operational, and project challenges facing the industry rather than high-level theory. Attendees come to hear senior energy-project executives, source suppliers from a large exhibition hall, and secure high-value introductions through a dedicated 1-2-1 meeting (matchmaking) service. With a substantial pipeline of proposed capital spending represented in the room, EPC is a prime destination for networking, sourcing technology and equipment, and forming relationships with the teams behind North America's most significant energy builds.
