Shortlisted for the UK’s Best Trade Show Award, this year’s Energy Event at the NEC in Birmingham on September 11th and 12th will help organisations optimise their energy use, comply with legislation and put in place sustainable energy efficiency and procurement solutions.

Speakers include Philip Lowe, director general for Energy at The European Commission, ITN journalist Daisy McAndrew, particle physicist and television presenter Professor Brian Cox, former New Labour director of ­communications and strategy Alastair Campbell and ­professor of forecasting and innovation James Woodhuysen.

The Energy Event aims to provide a treasure trove of information and really make a difference in UK energy ­consumption. Set to host more sessions than last year, with more industry thought leaders, more interaction, more case studies and more vital debate, the show promises a ­programme of useful information that will be of value to anyone with an interest in energy.

And, as the sessions are completely free to attend and Continuing Professional Developement (CPD) certified, it’s a cost effective way to continue professional development too. Key industry associations that have all contributed to the conference programme are ESTA, MEUC, Energy Institute, GAMBICA, BCAS, Waterwise, BCIA and Water Technology List.

The event hosts over 150 exhibitors including major UK energy suppliers, consultants and ­technology providers. It also hosts four theatres, each with a unique focus. The Energy Insight Conference is the ­central feature of the show which promises debate around the issues that are crucial to professionals who are responsible for energy purchasing, carbon reduction policies and practices within their organisations

The Energy Information Theatre is a resource for energy managers, environment managers, facilities experts and ­property management specialists. It will feature case studies from energy users and practical advice for reducing energy consumption, tackling buildings efficiency, controls and benchmarking, organisational change and incentives.

The Energy Services and Technology Association ­seminars are designed with energy managers in mind to offer a basic understanding of principles, awareness of policy issues and effective implementation to produce savings.

The Hosted Content Theatre will feature presentations hosted by Waterwise and npower among others. Seminars will include topics covering water efficiency, procurement strategies as well as a live energy debate.
