Gillette Generators Sponsors Closing Session at Premier Onsite Power Industry Event
WASHINGTON, D.C. — July 28, 2026 — The Electrical Generating Systems Association (EGSA) is proud to announce that President George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, will headline the closing session of the 2026 EGSA Fall Conference, taking place September 13–15, 2026, in Washington, D.C. Sponsored by Gillette Generators, the exclusive Fireside Chat will take place on Tuesday, September 15, concluding three days of education, networking, and collaboration for the onsite power generation industry. Presented in an engaging interview format, the Fireside Chat will feature President Bush in conversation with EGSA Board Member Dave Vennie, President of Worldwide Power. Together, they will explore leadership, decision-making, resilience, and navigating complex challenges; topics that resonate strongly with the onsite power industry as it supports the growing demand for resilient infrastructure. The discussion serves as a fitting conclusion to a conference centered on the theme Data Centers, highlighting the leadership and innovation required to power the world’s most critical facilities. The 2026 EGSA Fall Conference will bring together manufacturers, distributors, consulting engineers, manufacturers’ representatives, service providers, and end users for three days of education, networking, and business development. Educational sessions will examine technologies, trends, and policies shaping the future of onsite power, with a special emphasis on the critical role generator systems play in powering data centers and other mission-critical facilities. “We are honored to welcome President George W. Bush as the closing speaker for the 2026 EGSA Fall Conference,” said Mir Mustafa, CEO of EGSA. “His experience leading through periods of unprecedented challenge and change offers valuable lessons for our members and the broader business community. As our industry continues to evolve to meet the growing demands of data centers and critical infrastructure, his message on leadership, resilience, and service will provide an inspiring conclusion to an exceptional conference.” Gillette Generators, a longtime supporter of EGSA and the onsite power industry, is serving as the exclusive sponsor of the Fireside Chat with President Bush.
