Driftwood Club

Turbines · Power · AI in operations

The industry you built is being rebuilt. Build what’s next, with AI.

Gas turbines are sold out for years, the grid is short on firm power, and the fleet already in the ground is working harder than ever. Driftwood Club curates the public record on the turbine and power market, and puts owners, service providers and OEMs in the same room.

The opportunity

Why now

Every generation gets one inflection point. This is yours.

Superintelligence is already reshaping how companies operate. The ones that move first set the terms for everyone else.

AI is not coming for the built world from the outside. It is already inside estimating, procurement, project controls, and site operations. The question is not whether your business will change. It already is.

The operators who move now, deliberately and with the right peers, will build the next generation of companies. Those who wait will spend the next decade catching up to the ones who did not.

There is no room built for this conversation that is not full of vendors and consultants. Most conferences are sales floors, and your direct competitors are not your best thinking partners.

Driftwood Club exists to fill that gap. It is open, free, and built for the people doing the work.

Who's in the room

And what members get

Operators. Founders. Builders.

Owners and operators running frame and aero fleets, independent service providers and the suppliers behind them, OEM teams, and the builders bringing AI into the plant, the outage and the back office.

They answer to schedules, outages, and physical assets, not panels or podcasts. Alongside them, the grid, developer, and data-center people the fleet serves. If you do the work, you belong in the room.

What members get

  2. Operator sessions

    Planned

  4. The sources library
