All-Energy 2016 Conference Builds on Tradition

The Call for Papers for All-Energy 2016, taking place in the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre – SECC in Glasgow, UK on Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 May 2016, has been published and the wraps taken off new features planned within the annual trade show. For the first time there will be pavilions dedicated to energy storage, smart infrastructure, heat, and low carbon transport infrastructure – the latter alongside the low carbon transport demonstration area. The call for papers remains open until Friday 11 December 2015.

The All-Energy conference is a wide ranging event as the list of topics that will figure on the agenda shows. Submissions are invited for the main conference. Once again the All-Energy quick-fire presentation seminar theatres will be a feature on the exhibition show-floor. There will be theatres dedicated to wave and tidal (with a repeated programme on Day 2) and to community energy schemes, and business energy efficiency (each one day); and again abstracts can be submitted specifically for those. There will also be opportunities for project/device quick-fire updates at lunch times in the offshore wind, and the sustainable cities theatres (also on the exhibition show-floor). Once again there will have an area on the exhibition show-floor devoted to poster presentations. This is exclusively for academics, who can mark their abstract submission accordingly.

Trade Exchange

A new feature will be the International Trade Exchange, an area where officials from a range of countries will showcase commercial opportunities within their country/region, will share information on support mechanisms provided to assist trade with their country/region and introduce organisations from the country/region that are eager to establish international trading partnerships. All elements of All-Energy remain free to attend and include the exhibition, the conference and the now-traditional Giant Networking Evening.

Topics on the Conference Agenda

Innovation, cost reduction and aids to ever safer and more efficient operations will figure on the agenda, as will successful case histories/lessons learned, behavioural change, adding value not cost, diversification, export opportunities, and realism.

Additional subjects in the hands of all with an interest in the topics served by All-Energy – renewable and sustainable energy, business energy efficiency and smart sustainable cities. In publishing the Call for Papers the All-Energy team is eager for ideas for session topics and speakers that those in the industry would like to see invited as well as looking forward to receiving the abstract submissions that act as a guide to what potential speakers would like to deliver in May. Full information on the steps that need to be taken for those with suggestions, or those eager to present, are on the All-Energy website

 ‘Meet the Buyers’

New is the 2016 take on the ‘meet the buyers’ feature, the organisers are offering the opportunity to those submitting abstracts who are buyers to use the special 1-2-1 ‘meet the buyers’ area at the end of their conference session.
