Turbo Expo Milan

Turbo Expo – officially the Turbomachinery Technical Conference & Exposition – is the world’s leading trade fair and technical conference for turbomachinery and gas turbine technology. Held annually, it brings together international experts from engineering, research and industrial operations. The venue rotates each year among major technology hubs in North America, Europe and Asia.

The event is organised by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), one of the world’s most respected engineering institutions, headquartered in the United States. Since 1880, ASME has developed technical standards, promoted knowledge transfer and supported international collaboration across the mechanical engineering community.

The conference covers the full spectrum of modern turbomachinery technology, including gas, steam and wind turbines, industrial compressors, aircraft engines, microturbomachinery, and advanced energy and propulsion systems. Particular emphasis is placed on emerging and future-focused topics such as supercritical CO₂ power cycles, hydrogen applications, alternative fuels, decarbonisation strategies and sustainable energy systems. The technical programme is complemented by specialised disciplines including aerodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, materials science, ceramic and metallurgical development, structural and rotor dynamics, control engineering, diagnostics, simulation, model validation and digital methods, including AI-driven optimisation.

More than an exhibition, Turbo Expo is above all a technically rigorous conference featuring peer-reviewed paper presentations, panel sessions and workshops. Companies showcase high-performance turbines, compressor systems, components, materials, coatings, instrumentation, simulation software, digital monitoring solutions, manufacturing technologies, and engineering and consultancy services. The event therefore serves as a practical platform for technology assessment, investment decisions and collaborative development.

Exhibitors include leading turbomachinery manufacturers, power plant engineering companies, aerospace firms, oil and gas technology providers, precision component suppliers, materials manufacturers, software companies, research institutes and universities. The core audience comprises design and development engineers, project managers, technical directors, researchers, utility representatives, power plant operators and senior decision-makers from the aerospace, power generation, oil and gas, and industrial process sectors.

By rotating its location each year, the conference maintains a strong connection to the host city and its industrial or academic environment. Technology regions benefit from enhanced international visibility, while delegates gain direct access to regional industry clusters, universities and energy companies. The event is typically held in major, well-connected convention centres or exhibition venues with excellent international transport links.

In doing so, Turbo Expo combines global engineering expertise with regional innovation ecosystems, remaining a key meeting point for professionals shaping the future of turbomachinery technology.

The Turbo Expo will take place on 5 days from Monday, 15. June to Friday, 19. June 2026 in Milan.
