Coming into this year, the EMEX team felt it was important to take a step back and really understand what visitors see the event standing for. It became clear that there are three pillars that EMEX proudly stands by: solutions, innovation and implementation, and it is these attributes that set it apart from other events in the energy management space. Throughout every aspect of the show, EMEX gives its visitors real answers to their challenges, whether it’s via practical case studies on the conference programme, getting hands-on with the latest technology demonstrated by exhibitors, or making new connections and understanding how they have overcome similar issues within their businesses.
With this in mind, EMEX is committed to offering visitors solutions-focused content and this year sees even more brand new free-to-attend features appearing at the show. BSI Group are offering free, 30-minute CPD-accredited training sessions throughout both days of the show: Introduction to Energy Management ISO 50001, Introduction to Environmental Management ISO 14001 and Introduction to Net Zero. BSI Group is the national standards body of the UK and getting free access to their accredited training is an opportunity not to be missed. These training courses are an excellent way to improve your knowledge if you are new to this field or if you want to build further on what you already know.
Also new for 2024 are free workshops led by top industry experts. These fully interactive sessions are designed to demonstrate practical strategies for achieving key goals in energy management and carbon reduction. This is an unmissable opportunity to gain valuable insights and hands-on experience with companies such as Carbonology. Further details of the different focus areas of the workshops can be found on the EMEX website and places can be reserved when show registration opens in August.
This year, EMEX is delighted to welcome IEMA (Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment), a global body for environment and sustainability professionals, as hosts of exclusive peer mentoring sessions. Aimed at energy managers who may be new to their field or those who simply feel they would benefit from speaking with a more experienced associate, this is a valuable opportunity to network, gain professional advice and learn from senior IEMA members, all highly skilled in the energy transition field.
Once again, the conference programme hosted across four different theatres is jam-packed with some of the foremost thought-leaders in the space, as well as a huge range of practical case studies from those who are hands-on in the implementation of creating an energy efficient future. Led by Lord Rupert Redesdale, a key voice within government on the issue of sustainability, over 130 expert speakers will be presenting a range of panel discussions, technical and innovation showcase sessions, learnings and advice to visitors on how to move forward with their own net zero agenda. The four conference areas cover: Energy and Carbon Management Strategy, Sustainability and Net Zero, Built Environment and Transport and Energy Future and Flexible Networks, meaning there really is something for everyone. Check out the event website for further details of all the sessions as they are released.
Returning for 2024 are the highly popular Public Sector Roundtable Networking Meetings. Exclusively for those working in the public sector, these discussion groups are a unique opportunity to shape the future of net zero within small, impactful groups.
Many of the 100+ exhibiting companies at EMEX are showcasing new and innovative energy efficient solutions. This is a real opportunity to be amongst the first to see how rapidly developing technology is helping to reach sustainability goals. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for the right product for the next step of your journey, the busy show floor is the place to be.
Of course, many visitors come to EMEX each year to grow their professional networks. Whether it’s informal chats over a coffee, or a pre-arranged meeting in one of the expo’s many break-out areas, having the largest gathering of energy managers in one place means you can make the right connections for the next twelve months over just two days!
EMEX welcomes over 4,000 visitors from the smallest companies to the largest multi-nationals, from limited budgets to those who have millions to invest in sustainability solutions and from across the wide spectrum of both the private and public sectors – there really is something for everyone who walks through the doors. Typically attracting the majority of visitors from within energy management or environment and sustainability roles, whether you’re coming to source products and equipment, conduct meetings with industry peers or acquire knowledge and best practice learnings from the educational agenda, EMEX is the place for you.
