About CLEANPOWER 2027

CLEANPOWER 2027 is an energy industry event expected to take place May 24, 2027 at San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, United States. It is a one-day event on a Monday. With more than 7 months to go, there is time to plan the booth, the budget and the meetings properly.

Shows like this one typically draw utility and grid operators, engineers, project developers, installers, procurement managers and policy specialists. For registration, exhibitor packages and the floor plan, go to the official website, cleanpower.org.

What to expect at CLEANPOWER 2027

Energy shows bring together large operators and specialist suppliers. Conversations are technical, deals are large, and visitors often attend specific conference tracks and visit only a shortlist of exhibitors.

With a single day on the floor, every hour counts: arrive early, keep breaks short and in shifts so the booth is never empty, and book any important meetings before the doors open. Expect most visitors to be utility and grid operators and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for CLEANPOWER 2027

Here is a working timeline counted back from the opening day, May 24, 2027 (expected date, so adjust once it is confirmed):

1. 16 weeks before (Feb 1, 2027)
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels near San Diego Convention Center while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Mar 29, 2027)
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Apr 26, 2027)
   Ship freight to the advance warehouse if the organizer offers one. Book meetings with the visitors you most want to see. Set up lead capture and train the team on it.
4. One week before (May 17, 2027)
   Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.

Preparation tips for energy shows

• Identify the operators and developers you want to meet and request meetings before the show.
• Prepare technical data sheets and certifications for each market you serve.
• Brief the team on current policy and incentive changes, which come up in many conversations.

Booth tips for CLEANPOWER 2027

• Show performance data and installed references prominently; energy buyers trust track records.
• Qualify by project stage: planning, tender or construction.
• Keep a meeting area for longer technical discussions away from the aisle noise.
• Walk the hall at San Diego Convention Center during move-in to see which entrances and aisles carry the most traffic, and set up your booth so it faces that flow.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.

Following up leads after CLEANPOWER 2027

Most of the value of a trade show is created after it closes. Energy projects take months or years, so log the project stage and decision date with each lead and follow up at the right milestones.

1. Within 24 hours (by May 25, 2027)
   Send a short personal email to every hot lead. Mention one detail from your conversation so they remember you.
2. By May 27, 2027
   Send everything you promised at the booth: prices, samples, demo links. Log each lead in your CRM with its rating and notes.
3. By Jun 7, 2027
   Make a second, useful touch: a case study, a short video or an answer to the question they asked. Warm leads often reply to this one.
4. By Jun 23, 2027
   Review results: how many leads became meetings, what each lead cost, and whether CLEANPOWER 2027 is worth returning to.
