Nuclear Opportunities Workshop (NOW)

NOW is ETEC's Nuclear Opportunities Workshop, Tennessee’s premier nuclear industry conference focused on all things nuclear.

In July 2025, ETEC’s 7th annual NOW Conference hosted 1,000 attendees, made up of experts in nuclear fission and fusion energy, national security, radioisotopes, environmental management, policy, regulation, reactors, and workforce development; 70 exhibitors; and 150 students. The total included representatives from 300 companies across 34 states, as well as numerous industry leaders, federal and state officials, and national trade organizations interested in collaborating with nuclear companies in these fields.

The 2 full-day conference and Atomic After Party Reception was held at the Knoxville Convention Center in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee.

The NOW Conference has become a premier platform to showcase the advancements and opportunities within the nuclear industry in Tennessee. The exponential growth of NOW over the past few years underscores Tennessee’s commitment as the nation’s hub for nuclear innovation, driving America’s resurgence as a global leader in nuclear energy.
