Renowned for the outstanding learning opportunities on offer, you can once again expect plenty of first-class, free-to-attend sessions across our four themed theatres at emex, meaning there really is a session for everyone. And, don’t forget that all of these sessions will be delivered by industry experts from across the net zero spectrum, all excited to help you with your sustainability journey.
What’s on the agenda so far?
After the welcoming address, by Lord Rupert Redesdale, Conference Chair the Energy & Carbon Management Strategy Theatre opens with Kate Mulvany, Cornwall Insight, forecasting energy costs, regulation and market changes. As the energy landscape undergoes rapid transformation, the role of the energy manager is evolving. Dan Smith, Director of Energy Services, ClearVue Business, gives perspective for those ready to shape the next chapter of energy management.
As “greenhushing” emerges as word of the hour, we must reframe the net zero narrative. From pitching to your CFO from the perspectives of sustainability directors, to preparing for future reporting requirements, Sarune Ringelyte, Director, Sustainability, Savills in the Sustainability & Net Zero Theatre, will discuss what the true ROI of energy efficiency and emissions reduction is and Alice Andreasen, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Newcastle International Airport, tells all about the business case for net zero.
With rising energy costs, tighter regulations, and increasing financial premiums for inefficiency, leaders are caught in a perceived conflict between building sustainability and business sustainability. This narrative will be challenged through practical insights into making commercially sound sustainability decisions in the built environment by Anna Maclean, Co-Founder & CEO SRE, Jill Fowler, Transformation and Sustainability Director, JLL, and Kam Singh, Executive Director – ESG, EMCOR UK in theSmart Buildings & Built Environment Theatre.
Responsible and efficient energy consumption remains a priority for organisations. According to Cornwall Insight, as of April 2025, the average small business energy bill is approximately 70% higher than it was in ‘21–22. emex explores why ‘when’ you use energy is now more important than ‘how much’ you use.
The sustainability narrative shifts toward future-thinking business models, we must prepare to adapt to a changing world. Climate resilience is a key factor in long-term planning. Is your organisation ready?
The future? Driven by the promise of AI and smart technology, it looks smart. Mike Pitts, Deputy Director, Innovate UK informs us that buildings will tell us how to build better. emex looks at opportunities presented by these technologies in predictive maintenance, energy modelling, and data processing from AI, IOT and digital twins whilst addressing the practical realities of integrating these technologies successfully.
Our Energy Future & Flexible Networks Theatre addresses flexibility markets and will host sessions featuring Vanessa Jones, Power Responsive Officer, NESO and Rebecca Beresford, Director of Markets, NESO.
What else do we have in store for emex this year?
