Conference overview

The conference is held over two days, day 1 focusing on 'Smart Energy and Businesses', whilst day 2 will focus on 'Smart Energy and Communities'. Each day will be split into plenary sessions and break-out sessions to ensure people attending get the most out of the event.Both days will feature sessions designed to inform the audience on the different technology options available, their features and their practical application, as well as an overview of how each of these technologies will benefit under the new incentives.

Through various case studies and practical examples, a wide range of industry and public sector experts will also explore:

• The role and importance of the retail sector in technological and social change in the face of climate change, particularly in relation to energy and the new populist incentives for renewables investment
• The huge opportunities for industry to drive social and technological change in the face of climate change and energy security concerns, as well as exploit new business opportunities, what pioneering work is being done by companies to reduce their carbon footprint and how they benefit from investment in ‘Smart Energy’
• The role of the public sector in driving a smarter approach to energy both in its own operation and in its wider influence with the public, how the new incentives can encourage local government to step up their leadership on renewables and the role that schools, hospitals and other public institutions have to play
• How communities, social enterprises and householders can use the new renewables incentives to take charge of their carbon footprint and their energy future.
