About

ASME CATALYZE is a two-day summit that assembles the community of engineers, investors, entrepreneurs, and enablers who are driving the next industrial revolution.

This is not a typical conference, but an interactive, execution-focused convening, anchored in the processes and people that build energy and industrial systems in the real world.

CATALYZE will do more than start conversations: it will spark a community of practice that transforms the future of energy and industry.

The Location

At The Department at Hudson’s in downtown Detroit, CATALYZE brings together the community building what’s next at the epicenter of America’s industrial renaissance.
