- Extension to show floor theatre call for speakers
- Increasing number of overseas exhibitors welcomed
Shepherd and Wedderburn will once again be Headline Sponsor of All-Energy 2024 and the co-located Dcarbonise (Glasgow’s SEC15-16 May 2024) with full involvement in both the conference and exhibition at the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference.
“We are delighted to celebrate 10 years of sponsorship by Shepherd and Wedderburn and look forward to working with them once again as Headline Sponsor, particularly on plans for the offshore wind, and decarbonisation of cities/places conference streams where they ensure topicality and with stellar line-ups, attract large audiences,” said Jonathan Heastie, Portfolio Director, Energy & Marine at RX who own and organise the duo of events.
“The Shepherd and Wedderburn Clean Energy Team, headed by Clare Foster, brings its immense knowledge to the show in general and to the conference in particular. They are also enthusiastic and proactive exhibitors – we thoroughly enjoy working with them.
Clare Foster, Head of Clean Energy, banking Partner, and lead for the Edinburgh Climate Change Compact explained: “2024 is a fantastic milestone as it will mark the 10th anniversary of Shepherd and Wedderburn as Headline Sponsor for the All-Energy conference.
“In that time, we have seen remarkable growth and innovation in the clean energy and decarbonisation arenas and the conference continues to challenge us and all those working in this sector to try harder and do better. We are delighted to continue our support to the UK’s largest low-carbon energy and decarbonisation event and look forward to celebrating this milestone at the conference in May!”
Show floor theatre call for speakers extended
The call for speakers for the popular show floor theatres at All-Energy and Dcarbonise has been extended until 28 February. These cover offshore wind, marine renewables, hydrogen and energy storage, community and local energy, future talent, heat decarbonisation, built environment decarbonisation, transport decarbonisation, and innovation across the board.
A ninth show floor theatre in the Research and Innovation Hub, an Energy Technology Partnership (ETP) initiative, brings academic and industrial collaboration projects together focussing in the theatre on the work undertaken on projects displayed on small pods within the Hub.
Increase in overseas involvement
The show is also celebrating the commitment by a growing number of overseas exhibitors
as January has seen an influx of overseas groups and individual companies joining the ever-growing register of exhibitors. Recent additions include Business France and the HY5 -The Green Hydrogen Initiative of Northern Germany who join individual exhibitors from Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands and Norway, as well as throughout the UK.
“We are also delighted that Invest Northern Ireland will make a return visit across the Irish Sea with an increasing number of exhibitors,” said Jonathan Heastie.
Under a month to wait before free registration opens
Registration for the duo of events will open on 20 February for visitors who can visit the exhibition and attend the conference and Civic Reception and Giant Networking Evening (the latter sponsored once again by Siemens Energy and Siemens Gamesa) all free of charge providing they have relevant business or academic interests. Exhibitor and media registration will open on the same day.
Jonathan Heastie looks back to last year’s event: “In 2023 we broke all previous records with a total attendance of 9,706 – a 27% increase on the 2022 figure; and some 9,200 badges were scanned at the entrance to main conference rooms and show floor theatres.
“It was a fantastic two days. The exhibition halls were constantly busy, with the buzz of business being done and successful networking that has always been the hallmark of All-Energy. The conference attracted packed halls right up to the final minutes of our two-day event. The Civic Reception and Giant Networking Evening, and features such as the Future Talent Hub and Meet the Developer all played their part in the success story as they will do again this year, with Glasgow firmly in the spotlight hosting the Glasgow Climate Week with All-Energy playing a central role.”
