Dear ECG Customers and Colleagues,
NOTE: April 14–15, 2026 are the new dates for the Predict‑It User Group Meeting
Hello Predict‑It User Group Community,
We’re thrilled to share new updates as we gear up for what promises to be our most fun, collaborative, and customer‑driven Predict‑It User Group Meeting yet! This year’s event is the same format as last year. We are interested in hearing your ideas, your real‑world challenges, and your creative use cases that help shape the future of the Predict‑It platform.
Hosted by Mitsubishi Power in sunny Orlando, this two‑day experience (plus a welcome reception!) will bring together Predict-It users from across the industry to learn, connect, and contribute directly to the software enhancements that matter most.
The updated dates are April 14–15, 2026, and we can’t wait to welcome you for customer‑led discussions focused on transforming your insights into features that will be coded into Predict‑It.
Why Attend: Customer Benchmarking & Peer Exchange
One of the most valuable aspects of the 2026 Predict-It User Group Meeting is the opportunity for customer benchmarking and peer-to-peer exchange across the power generation industry. This event creates an open forum for asset owners, operators, and reliability professionals to share experiences, compare approaches, and learn directly from one another.
Attendees will learn how the Predict-It Monitoring & Diagnostics (M&D) Center technology is being used in real-world applications to monitor and manage a wide range of generation assets, including Wind, Solar, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Combined Cycle, Hydro, Nuclear, and Rankine cycle units.
Through customer-led discussions and use case presentations, participants will be able to benchmark their current monitoring strategies, validate best practices, and identify practical opportunities to improve reliability, performance, and asset availability across their fleets.
Learn from Mitsubishi Power’s World-Class M&D Center
A key highlight of the 2026 Predict-It User Group Meeting is the opportunity to learn directly from Mitsubishi Power on how its global Monitoring & Diagnostics (M&D) Center operates and delivers world-class equipment health monitoring for gas turbine customers.
Mitsubishi Power experts will share how advanced analytics, digital infrastructure, and deep engineering expertise are combined to provide continuous monitoring, early detection of emerging equipment issues, and proactive decision support to reduce unplanned downtime.
This behind-the-scenes look into Mitsubishi Power’s M&D Center operations will help customers better understand how Predict-It fits into a best-in-class monitoring ecosystem—and how similar technologies and methodologies can be leveraged within their own organizations.
