The comprehensive range of conferences and seminars complement the headline two day conference Energy Insight. Energy Insight was introduced to the energy event in 2007 when the owners, Western Business Exhibitions, managed a major revamp and created a new brand identity. The Energy Insight conference was such a big hit that there was standing room only. Delegates travelled from across the UK and as far away as North & Latin America and South Africa to hear insight from leading experts and international commentators including CBI,WWF,Bloomberg,UK Ministers and FTSE100 major energy users. Energy Insight at the energy event 2008 will once again play host to A-List speakers. News on the programme and confirmed speakers will be announced on the energy event website in due course.

New for 2008 is a strong partnership with Carbon Clear a leading London-based organisation that helps businesses achieve zero impact status by maintaining a broad and exclusive portfolio of high-quality clean energy and other carbon reduction projects that improves lives in developing countries. The Energy Event team is dedicated to again offsetting its impact and proud to be working with Carbon Clear.
