Gensets, switchgear and dealers: EGSA Spring 2027 booths in Houston
We build EGSA booths that let a generator distributor compare your controller, transfer switch or load bank against the unit already on their yard. The exhibition sits in a Galleria hotel with a Sunday setup window, so we ship compact kits that go up in hours.
- Apr 11–13 · Royal Sonesta
- 40+ exhibitors

What makes EGSA Spring Conference different, and how we build for it
EGSA is the trade association of the onsite power business, and its spring and fall conferences gather the distributors, dealers, OEMs and service companies who sell and maintain standby generators.The Spring 2027 Conference in Houston focuses on Disaster Resilience, with panels and breakouts on design, application, policy and operations, a free Monday Night Social and an exhibition open 13.5 hours. The 2026 exhibitor list reads like a parts catalog for a genset: ComAp and Deep Sea Electronics controllers, ASCO transfer switches, MIRATECH emissions systems, Universal Load Banks, Rehlko and Sunbelt Rentals. At about 400 attendees, every booth gets seen; the question is whether your product makes a dealer's next quote easier.
Product they can add to a line card: margins, lead times, territory terms and a sample on the table they can open and inspect.
Hands-on access to controllers, batteries and load banks, plus diagnostics, parts support and training they can use in the field.
Application data for hospitals, data centers and critical facilities, and codes guidance relevant to the Disaster Resilience program.
Your team in Houston
Two shops behind your EGSA Spring Conference booth
Production happens in our own shop in Fishkill, NY, and at our Las Vegas hub, and we ship to the Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria and install with vetted local labor, led by our own project manager on the floor. Expect a 30–45-day build for EGSA Spring Conference, secure storage and a pre-show QA.
Your staff walks onto the EGSA Spring Conference floor and the booth is already lit and stocked. You just show up.
New at EGSA Spring Conference 2027
- Houston, with a Disaster Resilience focus
After San Diego in spring 2026, EGSA takes its Spring 2027 Conference to the Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria and centers the program on Disaster Resilience. Gulf Coast storm and grid stories fit the room, so we put your outage case studies on the back wall. source
- Booth prices rise for 2027
EGSA says rates increase for 2027, and only 2026 exhibitors who book by November 30, 2026 keep the old price. Booking early saves money and secures the design slot. source
Inside EGSA Spring Conference 2027
Rules that shape your booth
EGSA's 2027 prospectus sells booths in two sizes, for one conference or for both spring and fall. We design to those footprints and never propose a larger island for this exhibition.
Setup is Sunday, April 11, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the exhibition closes Tuesday at 11 a.m. and teardown ends at 3 p.m. (2027 exhibit hall page). We build kits one crew can raise in that window.
EGSA's general services contractor issues an exhibitor service kit for furniture, shipping and utilities (2027 exhibit hall page). We order power for demos and ship to the kit's address, not straight to the hotel.
Returning 2026 exhibitors keep 2026 prices only if they book 2027 space by November 30, 2026 (2027 prospectus). We hold your design slot once the booth is booked.
Programs worth planning for
The Spring 2027 education focus, with panels and breakouts on design, application, policy, operations and new technology; EGSA runs a call for proposals for speakers.
A free networking event on Monday night for registered attendees; most activities have registration limits and are added through MyEGSA accounts.
A virtual bootcamp on January 15, 2027 for EGSA's onsite power certification; useful for distributors and technicians, and a natural sponsorship for training-minded suppliers.
Gold at $50,000, Platinum at $75,000 and Power Partner at $100,000 in 2027, covering both conferences and EGSA media, with a complimentary booth included.
EGSA Spring is the onsite power trade's own meeting, small and dealer-heavy; choose it over POWERGEN when you sell through generator distributors and service companies rather than directly to utility plant owners.

02 Booths & pricing for EGSA Spring Conference 2027
Popular booth sizes at EGSA Spring Conference
EGSA sells only 10×10 and 10×20 booths, for one conference or for both spring and fall, and each includes 13.5 hours of exhibit time and a website listing. We recommend the 10×20 for a controls or switchgear maker who wants a working demo plus a table, and design the booth to travel to EGSA Fall in Columbus.

The largest EGSA booth: a transfer switch or control panel on a rolling stand, a demo screen with remote monitoring and a small table for dealer terms.

Case study · KLEEMANN
KLEEMANN at an industrial technology exhibition
An interactive booth for a global elevator manufacturer: digital simulations, real product showcases and a floor plan that guided visitors from first step to last.
Our KLEEMANN booth let visitors try real product and simulations in a tight plan, which is what a controller or transfer-switch maker needs on a 10×20 at EGSA.

04 Designing for generator, engine, switchgear and onsite power service companies at EGSA Spring Conference
Four things we get right for EGSA Spring Conference exhibitors
1Make the dealer's quote easier
EGSA's floor is full of distributors who build standby packages. Put your part numbers, compatible engine and genset ranges and lead times on the back wall at eye level, so a dealer can match your controller or ATS to the job on their desk.
2Live demo boards, not dead hardware
ComAp, Deep Sea and SENS show working panels at EGSA. We build a powered demo board for your controller or battery charger that simulates start, transfer and alarm states, with power ordered through the conference's service contractor.
Fit the Sunday setup window
EGSA's 2027 setup runs Sunday, April 11, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with teardown Tuesday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In a hotel exhibit space that means rolling cases, no crating, and a booth one person can stand up before the 6 p.m. Welcome Reception.
Speak to Disaster Resilience
The Spring 2027 program centers on Disaster Resilience. A short panel showing how your product kept a hospital, water plant or data center running through an outage gives engineers and dealers a story to repeat to their customers.

Concept rendering
Your EGSA Spring Conference proposal comes with a rendering like this
Layout, graphics, lighting and product positions are all in the 3D view, revised until right, before a single panel is cut for EGSA Spring Conference. Above: a Purple concept for Exposome.

Where you could be at EGSA Spring Conference 2027
EGSA's Spring 2027 exhibition is a hotel exhibit space at The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria; the exhibit hall map is listed as coming soon.
Exhibition space
40+ exhibiting companies in 10×10 and 10×20 booths, open 13.5 hours over Monday and Tuesday morning.
Our advice With a compact floor, booth position matters less than having a live demo and a staffer at the front edge every open hour.
Welcome Reception and breakfasts
Sunday's Welcome Reception runs 6 to 7:30 p.m., and breakfast is served 7 to 8 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday while the exhibition is open.
Our advice Breakfast hours bring the whole conference past your booth; we make sure the demo is powered and running by 7 a.m.
05 The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria · Houston
Logistics for EGSA Spring Conference 2027, handled
The exhibition runs inside The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria on West Loop South, a hotel rather than a convention hall, so freight arrives on the general services contractor's shipping instructions and moves through the hotel's receiving area. EGSA says the contractor's exhibitor service kit covers furniture, shipping and utilities; the 2027 kit and floor map are not confirmed yet. We pack your booth in rolling cases, ship to the contractor's warehouse on its dates, order power for live demos and set everything during Sunday's 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. window, with our project manager on site for setup and Tuesday teardown.
What Purple handles
- Rolling-case booths sized to EGSA's 10×10 and 10×20 spaces
- Powered demo boards for controllers, chargers and transfer switches
- Service-kit orders for power, furniture and shipping
- Setup inside EGSA's Sunday window and Tuesday teardown
- Graphics that carry to EGSA Fall in Columbus
- Our project manager on site for setup and teardown

EGSA Spring Conference exhibitor questions
Questions exhibitors ask us before EGSA Spring Conference
When is the EGSA Spring 2027 Conference?
April 11–13, 2027. Exhibitors set up Sunday, April 11, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. before the 6 p.m. Welcome Reception; the exhibition is open Monday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Tuesday 7 to 11 a.m., then teardown runs to 3 p.m.
Where is EGSA Spring 2027 held?
At The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria on West Loop South in Houston. EGSA's room rate is $189 single or double plus tax, the housing deadline is March 19, 2027, and Hobby Airport is about 13 miles away and Bush Intercontinental about 24.
How much does a booth at EGSA cost?
For one 2027 conference, a 10×10 is $4,950 for members and $5,950 for non-members, and a 10×20 is $7,700 and $8,700. Booking both spring and fall costs $8,300 to $9,300 for a 10×10 and $13,500 to $14,500 for a 10×20. Our graphics and demo kit is quoted separately.
What does an EGSA booth include?
Every 2027 booth includes 13.5 hours of exhibit time, a listing on the conference website and inclusion in the app and signage. Complimentary registrations run from two for a single-conference 10×10 to ten for a two-conference 10×20. Furniture, shipping and power come through the contractor's service kit.
Is there an early booking discount for EGSA 2027?
EGSA's Exhibitor Loyalty Rate lets 2026 exhibitors who book 2027 space by November 30, 2026 keep 2026 pricing before rates increase. New exhibitors pay the 2027 list prices in the prospectus.
Who exhibits at EGSA?
Controller, switchgear, engine, emissions, load bank, fuel system and service companies. EGSA's 2026 exhibitor list included ComAp, Deep Sea Electronics, ASCO Power Technologies, MIRATECH, Rehlko, Universal Load Banks, Sunbelt Rentals, JCB Power Products and Stored Energy Systems.
How many people attend EGSA conferences?
EGSA reports average conference attendance of around 400 and a network of 10,000+ professionals. The Spring 2027 exhibition lists 40+ exhibiting companies and organizations, so the floor is small enough that most attendees pass every booth.
Who organizes the EGSA Spring Conference?
The Electrical Generating Systems Association, the trade group for onsite power, which also runs a fall conference, Onsite Power Generation schools, certification and the PowerTalk webinars. Booth and sponsorship questions go to EGSA's membership experience team.
Can we run a generator at EGSA?
A running generator is unlikely to fit EGSA Spring 2027: the exhibition is in a hotel, and 2027 equipment rules are not confirmed yet. Plan for demo boards and controllers instead; we build powered panels that simulate start and transfer sequences and order the power through the service kit.
When do we need to sign off an EGSA booth?
By late January 2027. That allows a February build, a test of any powered demo, and shipping before the contractor's deadlines and the March 19 hotel cutoff. If you plan to book both spring and fall, we design once for both.
Is EGSA worth exhibiting at?
For a supplier that sells through generator distributors, EGSA puts you in front of the dealers and service companies who choose what goes on their line card, at a 10×20 price of $7,700 for members. It is a relationship show rather than a mass-traffic expo.
When is EGSA Fall 2027?
The Fall 2027 Conference is October 3–5, 2027 in Columbus, Ohio. Booking a two-conference package covers both, and the same booth kit can ship from Houston to storage and on to Columbus.
Can we reuse an EGSA booth at POWERGEN?
The EGSA 10×20 can become one module of a POWERGEN island, where the same controllers and switchgear meet utility and data center buyers, and it works for 7x24 Exchange. Between events the kit waits in our storage, and we reprint the panels for each audience.
Before you sign for EGSA Spring Conference
Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for EGSA Spring Conference:
- Is every fee on the proposal, including what the EGSA Spring Conference show contractor bills?
- Who actually builds it for EGSA Spring Conference: your shop or a subcontractor?
- Does your project manager stay on the floor through install and dismantle in Houston?
- What exactly is in the rental, and what does EGSA Spring Conference bill?
- What happens to the booth after EGSA Spring Conference, and what does storage cost?
Common situations
Already own a booth? Your existing booth gets refreshed graphics and repairs, then we ship it to Houston, install it and store it between shows. You keep the structure you paid for and bring it to EGSA Spring Conference.
Exhibiting from outside the US? We are your team on the ground in Houston: 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 Houston. On the first call, we tell you what is realistic for EGSA Spring Conference.
