Feel the Energy

Gastech 2024, the world’s largest energy exhibition and conference was held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, and Smart City was on hand to light it up! This year’s event drew over 45,000 attendees from 156 countries and hosted over 1,000 exhibitors, making it a landmark gathering in the global energy sector. Focused on natural gas, LNG, hydrogen, climate technologies, and low-carbon solutions, Gastech 2024 demonstrated its influence in shaping the future of energy, and Smart City Networks is proud to have been a part of this milestone event.

From a practical standpoint, Smart City Electric worked to ensure the execution of all technical requirements at the event. Supported by a dedicated team of 21 electricians, Smart City Electric delivered over 3,000 electrical lines, powering the expansive exhibit booths and meeting spaces throughout the convention. In addition, the Smart City technical team configured and installed more than 60 custom wireless networks that integrated perfectly with the high-tech, multi-million-dollar exhibit setups.

The complexity of Gastech 2024’s requirements posed a welcome challenge for the team, as it required precision, collaboration, and cutting-edge technology to ensure that exhibitors and attendees had an exceptional experience.

Smart City Networks’ involvement not only contributed to the event’s success but also highlighted Houston’s role as a global energy hub. The event generated over $27 million for the local economy, further solidifying Houston’s status as a key player in the energy industry.
