HOUSTON, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ChemE Show 2026 Powered by ACHEMA concluded June 9-10 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. Produced by Gulf Energy Information, publisher of Hydrocarbon Processing, and powered by ACHEMA, the inaugural event brought professionals from across the chemicals, pharmaceutical, hydrogen, and broader petrochemicals industries together for two days of main stage programming, Innovation Theater sessions, and direct engagement on the show floor.
