In June 2026, leaders from across the chemical, petrochemicals and pharmaceutical industries will gather in Houston for a groundbreaking new event: ChemE Show—Powered by ACHEMA, taking place June 9 and 10 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas (U.S.). This is more than a conference or trade show. It is a new platform where engineering excellence, technological innovation and strategic investment come together to shape the future of the petrochemical and pharmaceutical value chains.
Built in partnership between Gulf Energy Information, publisher of Hydrocarbon Processing, and DECHEMA, organizer of the world-leading ACHEMA forum in Frankfurt, Germany, this collaboration merges unmatched technical depth with North America’s strongest commercial network. The result is a unified global ecosystem where companies can showcase technologies, source partners and accelerate growth across the entire value chain.
One Event. Three Industries. Infinite Impact.
ChemE Show is designed for today’s chemical engineering community. Innovation rarely happens in isolation. Digital transformation influences plant design, sustainability drives feedstock decisions, and biotechnology reshapes pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals. ChemE Show reflects this interconnected reality.
Attendees will explore six high impact zones focused on:
Process Engineering
Sustainability and Green Chemistry
Digitalization and Smart Plants
Pharma and Biotech Manufacturing
Lab Technologies and Automation
Hydrogen Energy Solutions.
These zones anchor a dynamic exhibition floor created to connect technology providers directly with buyers, decision makers and specifiers who are actively seeking solutions.
