Welcome Reception

Welcome Reception
Monday, June 15, 2026

The ASME Turbo Expo Local Liaison Committee invites all delegates to join colleagues for complimentary light refreshments. The Turbo Expo Welcome Reception takes place the first day of the conference and is a great place to interact with colleagues in a more casual environment. Attendees use this time to make introductions, foster current relationships, and schedule meetings outside of the conference times. Meet with friends and thinkers from around the world who are shaping the future of turbomachinery.

Turbo Expo hosts daily morning (10:00am) and afternoon (3:30pm) coffee breaks. These half-hour blocks of time are meant to "re-charge" attendees and presenters by providing a more relaxed atmosphere to interact with one another. Many use this time to network, arrange evening plans with colleagues, and exchange contact information over coffee.
