SUMMARY:Register Now for the SMR & Advanced Reactor 2026 – May 11 – May 12, 2026 – Austin, TX
DESCRIPTION:\nMay 11–12, 2026\nAustin, Texas\nThe Home of New Nuclear\nGlobal energy demand is projected to increase by 50% by 2050, placing new nuclear technologies firmly in the spotlight. With more than $8 billion invested in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) since 2024, industry stakeholders must move quickly to build viable business models, form execution-ready partnerships, and accelerate deployment.\nExecutive Orders targeting 400 GW of nuclear capacity by 2050 raise the stakes even higher. Achieving this goal requires immediate coordination across financing, regulation, supply chains, and technology development—there is no room for delay or missteps.\nReuters Events: SMR & Advanced Reactor 2026 is the global meeting point for new nuclear, bringing together more than 750 senior leaders from utilities, technology providers, financiers, policymakers, and regulators to turn ambition into execution.\nWhy Attend\n\nBuild strategic partnerships to accelerate SMR and advanced reactor deployment\nGain clarity on financing, FOAK risk, regulation, and supply chain readiness\nPosition nuclear as a scalable solution for energy security and decarbonization\n\nWho Attends\nConnect face-to-face with senior decision-makers shaping the future of nuclear energy.\n\n750+ Delegates\n36% C-Suite\n16% SVP / EVP / VP\n\nRoles include:\n\nChief Executive Officer\nChief Nuclear Officer\nChief Technology Officer\nChief Financial Officer\nChief Strategy Officer\nChief Operating Officer\nChief Regulatory Officer\nEngineering & Integration Directors\n\n2026 Agenda Overview\nThe agenda has been developed in close collaboration with industry leaders to ensure every session delivers practical insight and real-world value.
