“Blades US 2025, in Austin, Texas, is a must-have ticket for professionals in this specialized sector who want to learn more about their craft, as well as network with their peers.
I’m particularly looking forward to the panel discussion focused on managing the performance of ever-larger blades, in an era of fierce competition to offer project developers the most powerful turbines.”
Ian Griggs, editor of Windpower Monthly
If you haven’t signed up for Blades USA 2024 yet, there are plenty of reasons to do so. Last year’s event was a great success, and this year’s looks set to be even better.
We’ll be covering the key issues that will help you to optimise your processes and reduce the cost of operations and maintenance. The conference will address the vital role that data plays and how we can better use it to inform our repair strategies, including the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Other sessions will cover topics from how to reduce downtime, blade abnormalities and complex repairs, to circularity and the design, manufacture, installation and transport challenges created by larger blades.
We’ve got some great speakers from a variety of organisations lined up, including representatives from turbine manufacturers, owner-operators, academics, technical experts and thought leaders.
There will be plenty of opportunities to network with your peers too, including a drinks reception. This will be the first time I’ve been to Blades USA, and I am very much looking forward to it. I hope to see you there.
