About Exhibition

HYDRO 2020 will be held on 26 to 28 Oct 2020 at Palais de la Musique et des Congres, Strasbourg, France. HYDRO 2020 will once again take place in France, following HYDRO 2009 in Lyon, and HYDRO 2015 in Bordeaux. The host city for 2020, Strasbourg, is on the Rhine, one of Europe’s major ‘hydropower rivers’, and is very close to the borders of both Germany and Switzerland, so there will be plenty of local technical expertise to share with participants. The HYDRO 2020 Technical Exhibition will showcase more than 180 companies active in the fields of hydropower and dam engineering. All refreshment breaks will take place in the exhibition area, and a Networking Evening will take place on Tuesday 27 October, with late opening of the Exhibition to give all attendees an additional chance to visit companies and forge new business links in an informal setting.
