Each year, BIAPWS organises a two day symposium on power plant chemistry. To date, 20 such symposia have been organised.

The symposium covers the fundamental aspects of power plant chemistry on the first day, followed by developments in cycle chemistry, water treatment and environmental issues on the second day. As well as the technical content, the event also provides an excellent opportunity for meeting colleagues from power plants, technical centres and suppliers that are active in the power industry, with vendor stands also available.
The annual symposium continues to be very well supported, with around one hundred delegates typically attending.
