The sixth annual Power Progress Summit (formerly Diesel Progress Summit), which will take place October 1-2 at the Voco Chicago Downtown Hotel in Chicago, Ill., incorporates a full day and a half of conferences focused on the dramatic changes in engines and powertrains that are being driven by emissions regulations and advances in hybrid, electrification and other technologies. It will also recognize excellence in product design, development and innovation with the annual Power Progress Summit Awards.

The Power Progress Summit Awards are a highlight of the summit, with the awards presented at a networking dinner at the end of the first day of the program. As with the name change, the award categories have been updated to more effectively reflect the energy transition taking place in the markets the conference covers.
