Storage only, 600 buyers: ACP RECHARGE 2027 booth displays in Austin
RECHARGE is a storage conference, not a hall show: in 2026 about 15 exhibitors shared a small area with 600 developers, utilities, investors and first responders. A display here has to explain a battery system's safety and value in a few square feet, and pack into a hotel loading dock.

What makes ACP RECHARGE different, and how we build for it
ACP RECHARGE is the American Clean Power Association's conference for energy storage alone, three days built around market development, policy and regulation, and technology, safety and operations.The 2026 edition in Aurora, Colorado drew 600 attendees and 80+ speakers, from Governor Jared Polis to storage leads at Tesla, Samsung SDI, NextEra and LG Energy Solution Vertech, with only 15 exhibitors. First responders sit in the audience next to developers and grid operators, so fire safety and emergency response are part of the sales story. The inaugural RECHARGE Awards in 2026 named an Energy Storage Champion and a Project of the Year, and Energy Storage 101 opened the program.
They are choosing storage systems for projects in the queue and want cost per kWh, augmentation plans, warranty and delivery, in a quiet conversation between sessions.
Market staff from ISOs and utilities want to understand how your system dispatches, what it does for reliability and how it fits their interconnection rules.
Fire officials ask about thermal runaway testing, suppression, venting and emergency response plans; a clear, honest safety panel earns their trust and the community's.
Your team in Austin
One project manager, two shops, the whole ACP RECHARGE build
Production happens in our own shop in Fishkill, NY, and at our Las Vegas hub, and we ship to the Austin Marriott Downtown and install with vetted local labor, led by our own project manager on the floor. Every ACP RECHARGE build runs a predictable 30 to 45 days and gets a pre-show QA, with secure storage after.
Your team arrives at ACP RECHARGE to a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.

After Aurora, Colorado in 2026, ACP takes RECHARGE 2027 to the Austin Marriott Downtown on September 13–15. Displays travel to a hotel, so they should fit hotel freight elevators and service corridors. source

ACP RECHARGE rules that shape your booth
ACP requires all demonstrations, literature and promotional material to stay within the sponsor area or exhibitor space, and space may not be shared without written consent. We size the display so samples and handouts fit your assigned footprint.
Air blimps, drones and other motorized equipment are banned at ACP events unless approved in writing at least 30 days before the event. If your demo moves, we file the request with photos and specs well ahead.
RECHARGE registrants agree not to hold trainings, receptions, client events or large gatherings that conflict with sessions or special events without ACP's approval. We schedule sponsor gatherings in open slots and get approval first.
ACP's policies forbid packing or removing items from a sponsor or exhibitor space before the event closes, and require a neat space at all times. Our project manager stays through the final session and packs out after.
Programs worth planning for
Launched in 2026 with four categories: Energy Storage Champion, Excellence in Safety & Reliability, Project of the Year and Innovator of the Year, presented at the conference.
A pre-conference course offered at RECHARGE 2026 on storage technologies, markets, policy and applications, useful for newcomers on your team or your customers'.
Meetups for EmpowHER, PowerVets, Emerging Leaders and First Timers ran at RECHARGE 2026 beyond the main program, each a sponsorable gathering point.
ACP RECHARGE is the clean power trade group's conference devoted wholly to energy storage, small and senior; choose it over CLEANPOWER when you sell storage systems or safety and want hours with developers, utilities and first responders rather than a busy hall.

Case study · Shapoorji Pallonji
Shapoorji Pallonji at an engineering and infrastructure exhibition
A structured, powerful booth for a global engineering group founded in 1865, built to communicate scale, trust and engineering excellence.
Shapoorji Pallonji's booth made a big engineering group read as trustworthy in one look; a storage maker at RECHARGE has to earn the same trust from developers and fire officials in a few square feet.

04 Designing for battery energy storage manufacturers, integrators, safety and service providers at ACP RECHARGE
Four things we get right for ACP RECHARGE exhibitors
1Put safety in the first panel
First responders are named in RECHARGE's own audience list. We give your system's safety testing, suppression approach and emergency response contact the most visible panel on the display, written in plain words a fire official can read from the coffee line.
2Pack for a hotel dock
The Austin Marriott Downtown is a hotel, not a convention hall, so there are no forklift aisles. We design tabletop and pull-up systems that roll through a service corridor in cases one person can lift, and set up in under an hour.
3Meet the speakers' companies
With 80+ speakers in 2026 drawn from developers, utilities, ISOs and investors, the people you want often sit on panels. We keep the display compact and mobile so your team can work the session breaks and still have a branded base to bring people back to.
Stay inside ACP's event rules
ACP's event policies keep demos and literature inside your sponsor area, bar shared space without consent and need written approval 30 days ahead for drones or other motorized displays. We design the display to those limits and file any approval with ACP.

Logistics for ACP RECHARGE 2027, handled
ACP RECHARGE 2027 runs at the Austin Marriott Downtown, a downtown hotel on East Cesar Chavez Street, not a convention center, so freight arrives through the hotel's receiving and service corridors rather than open exhibit docks. ACP publishes its exhibitor kit to booked companies through an online portal with vendor forms, move-in and move-out details and deadlines. We read the kit, file the forms, ship compact cases timed to the hotel's receiving rules, and our project manager sets up the tabletop or sponsor display and packs it out after the close.
What Purple handles
- Tabletop and sponsor displays that fit hotel spaces
- Safety panels written for first responders
- Portable meeting-room branding
- Exhibitor kit forms and ACP approvals
- Freight timed to hotel receiving
- Graphics that scale up for CLEANPOWER and RE+

ACP RECHARGE exhibitor questions
Questions exhibitors ask us before ACP RECHARGE
When is ACP RECHARGE 2027?
ACP RECHARGE 2027 runs September 13–15, 2027 in Austin, Texas, at the Austin Marriott Downtown. The 2027 agenda, exhibit area hours, setup times and registration rates are not confirmed yet; the 2026 edition ran in Aurora, Colorado, just outside Denver.
Where is ACP RECHARGE 2027 held?
RECHARGE 2027 is at the Austin Marriott Downtown, a conference hotel at 304 East Cesar Chavez Street in downtown Austin, Texas. The 2026 edition was in Aurora, Colorado, just outside Denver, so 2027 moves the event to Texas.
Can we exhibit at ACP RECHARGE?
ACP sells exhibiting and sponsorship together for RECHARGE, with a small exhibit area inside the conference: 15 exhibitors in 2026. There is no public floor plan or square-foot rate, so companies start through ACP's sponsorship contact, and we build to the package you book.
How much does it cost to attend RECHARGE?
For 2026, ACP members paid $1,251 early bird, $1,424 advance and $1,597 regular, and non-members $1,511, $1,683 and $1,856; one-day passes were $958 for members. Rates for 2027 are not confirmed yet, and exhibit packages are quoted separately.
How many people attend ACP RECHARGE?
RECHARGE 2026 drew 600 attendees, 15 exhibitors and 80+ speakers, per ACP. That small size is the point: storage developers, utilities, ISOs and investors spend three days in the same rooms, and a sponsor sees most of the audience at the breaks. Attendance for 2027 is not confirmed yet.
Who attends ACP RECHARGE?
ACP lists energy storage manufacturers and suppliers, technology and service providers, investors and financiers, developers, construction firms, energy buyers, utilities and grid operators, community members and new entrants, first responders and the media. The 2026 stage included Tesla, NextEra, Samsung SDI and CAISO.
What kind of booth works at RECHARGE?
A compact one: a tabletop or sponsor display with a lit backdrop, a product sample on a riser and a clear safety panel. We do not pitch a 10×20 or island here because the event does not sell them; the same graphics can scale up for CLEANPOWER in May.
What rules apply to exhibitors at RECHARGE?
ACP's event policies apply: demonstrations and literature stay inside your assigned space, space cannot be shared without written consent, nothing is packed before the close, motorized items such as drones need approval 30 days ahead, and no unescorted person under 18 enters an exhibition area.
Can we host a reception during RECHARGE?
Only with ACP's prior approval. By registering, attendees agree not to hold trainings, receptions, client events or other large gatherings that conflict with official sessions or special events, so we plan sponsor gatherings around the published agenda.
What are the ACP RECHARGE Awards?
The inaugural RECHARGE Awards in 2026 honored people and projects advancing energy storage in four categories: Energy Storage Champion, Excellence in Safety & Reliability, Project of the Year and Innovator of the Year, presented in Aurora. A 2027 call for entries is not confirmed yet.
Is ACP RECHARGE open to the public?
RECHARGE is a paid conference: a badge comes only with registration, badge sharing is not allowed and each registration belongs to one person, though colleagues from the same company may substitute. Cancellations before the published cutoff carry a $150 administrative fee (2026 policy).
Is RECHARGE worth it for a storage manufacturer?
For a storage system or safety supplier who needs time with developers, utilities and fire officials, a 600-person conference with 15 exhibitors gives far more conversations per dollar than a giant hall, but no walk-up crowd. Companies wanting volume leads should pair it with CLEANPOWER or RE+.
We are a battery maker from Asia. Can you support us at RECHARGE?
We handle the U.S. side for overseas storage makers: display design, production, shipping to the Austin hotel's receiving dock, setup and pack-out, and storage until CLEANPOWER or RE+. ACP issues visa invitation letters once registration is paid; customs stays with your forwarder.
Before you sign for ACP RECHARGE
Five things to ask every builder quoting ACP RECHARGE:
- Is every fee on the proposal, including what the show contractor bills?
- Will your own shop build it, or a subcontractor?
- Will your own project manager be at ACP RECHARGE for install and dismantle?
- For ACP RECHARGE, what is in the rental and what is billed by the show?
- What happens to the booth after ACP RECHARGE, and what does storage cost?
Common situations
Already own a booth? Bring it: we refresh the graphics, repair what is worn, ship it, install it at ACP RECHARGE and store it until the next show. You keep the structure you paid for and bring it to ACP RECHARGE.
Exhibiting from outside the US? We are your team on the ground in Austin: freight to the advance warehouse, show-service orders, installation and storage, with one project manager answering your emails in your time zone.
Short on time? In two to three weeks, a rental with your graphics can be ready for Austin. The first call tells you what is realistic for your date.
