Connecting the energy industry like no other event in the UK, Energy 2016 is back for its second year at the Birmingham NEC on 18 – 20 October, as part of UK Construction Week
Already backed by leading industry bodies such as the Renewable Energy Association (REA), the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM), the Energy Managers Association (EMA), the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA) and many more, Energy 2016 will unite key business players in renewables, innovation and power generation. Bringing together architects, engineers, project and energy managers, developers and academics, the show will be the perfect platform to showcase new solutions, meet new contacts and learn new skills.
With latest innovations and intelligent products to discover, professionals from across the sector will not want to miss this opportunity to interact with the industry’s leading brands. Some of the exhibitors already signed up to the show include utility provider Scottish Power, global renewable energy provider RES Ltd, energy storage pioneers Cumulus Energy Storage and smart metering technology experts Meterix to name but a few.
When asked about her experience at last year’s show, Parveen Begum, Product Specialist at Tesla, commented: “The event was great! Lead quality was fantastic and we found the footfall was high.”
Doubling in size, due to the success of last year’s show, Energy 2016 will now span two halls of the NEC and play host to several feature areas. Central to the space will be the Energy Hub, a dynamic platform for the show’s comprehensive seminar content. Incorporating a mix of live debates, CPD seminars, keynote speeches and workshops, the Energy Hub content will address the core issues in the industry today as well as give insight into the latest regulations, policies and technologies.
The content will largely be shaped by the outcomes of the high-level debate hosted by Energy 2016 earlier in the year. The event brought together leading energy specialists, including Natalie Bennett, Leader of the Green Party and Steve Fitzsimons, Senior Manager Infrastructure Services at EDF Energy, to discuss the key issues such as energy storage and its role as a crucial facilitator for the future of renewable energy in both domestic and commercial environments.
Energy 2016 will also host a VIP lounge bringing a string of high profile buyers and visitors to the show. The Energy 2016 VIP section will be located within the show’s footprint offering exhibitors the unique opportunity to interact with some of the biggest players in the industry.
Richard Morey, Group Events Director at Media 10 – the organisers of Energy 2016 and UK Construction Week, commented: “The energy sector is one of the most important and dynamic industries in the UK. The progress and innovation of the sector has massive implications for the future of our country and so we are keen to encourage growth and prosperity in any way that we can. We believe that with the help of the show’s many partners and exhibitors, Energy 2016 can play a key role in the development of a greener, smarter and more efficient Britain.”
Visitors to Energy 2016 will also benefit from the event’s co-location alongside eight other trade events being held at UK Construction Week. Offering the unique opportunity to network with individuals and companies from across the entire construction industry, visitors can explore five expansive halls of the NEC all packed with relevant products, services, features and businesses.
