Energy Solutions Expo makes sustainability a reality
Energy Solutions Expo 2009, 7-8 October – London Olympia
Energy Solutions Expo, the UK’s fastest growing energy management event, has consistently evolved since its inception to reflect the most important issues facing energy users. 2009 will continue this trend as the event introduces Sustainable Reality - a brand new series of complimentary seminars focussing on the practical delivery of sustainability and the implications for businesses and other organisations.
Taking place from 7-8 October 2009 at London Olympia, Energy Solutions Expo is supported by the National Energy Foundation and the Energy Institute. It forms part of Working Buildings which is comprised of three co-located events: Energy Solutions Expo; Total Workplace Management, the UK’s largest FM and estates event and M&E – The Building Services Event, the UK’s only dedicated building services event.
The Sustainable Reality Seminar Theatre, which is hosting the educational programme, will feature more than 12 hours of free seminars and 20 expert speakers who will provide insight, practical information and direction to help turn a company’s sustainability agenda into reality.
