Tulsa, OK - Power-Gen Renewable Energy & Fuels, in its fifth year has significantly surpassed last year's totals in number of exhibitors and square feet sold. To date over 130 companies have signed up for well over 20,000 square feet at the upcoming event in February. It is anticipated that over 225 companies and 35,000 square feet will be sold. This is a growth of over 163% in number of companies and 184% in square feet sold over the previous year (which until now was the largest recorded by Power-Gen Renewable Energy & Fuels).

Along with the tremendous participation from exhibitors Power-Gen Renewable Energy & Fuels has chosen to significantly increase the number of conference tracks being offered to more fully provide a crucial learning experience for what is anticipated to be a record setting number of attendees. Power-Gen Renewable Energy & Fuels has made the commitment to increase the number of tracks being offered from 6 last year to an incredible 10 tracks for this coming event. This will make Power-Gen Renewable Energy & Fuels the largest and most comprehensive all-renewable conference in North America.

Anticipation is running at such a high level that Power-Gen Renewable Energy & Fuels has already had a large number of attendees register and pay to attend the conference, which is still 3 months away.

All indications are it will be a record-setting year for Power-Gen Renewable Energy & Fuels. With a 60% increase in the number of tracks being offered the learning experience will be greatly amplified over previous years.
