All-Energy, the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference, and the co-located Dcarbonise, being held by RX at Glasgow’s Scottish Events Campus (SEC) on 14 and 15 May 2025, is already on track to be the biggest edition ever. With projected growth of 16%, the exhibition is filling up fast.
A new Event Manager, Anam Khan is in post to head the organisation of All-Energy, and the co-located Dcarbonise, along with other new members of the team.
The 2024 edition of All-Energy and Dcarbonise attracted total attendance of 11,736 from home and overseas; some 270 exhibitors and saw 13,458 badges scanned at entrances to conference halls and rooms and show floor theatres.
Call for Speakers now open
Today (25 September) sees the launch of the Call for Speakers for the event’s popular show floor theatres in which the spotlight turns on cutting-edge technology, innovative solutions, software, AI, ‘lessons learned’ and case histories. The invitation to contribute knowledge and insight is at www.all-energy.co.uk/CfP with a deadline of 10 January 2025.
The invitation to submit abstracts is open for six theatres in which discussions, presentations and networking opportunities will be held:
- ‘FutureGrid’ with the ‘Great Grid Upgrade’ firmly in mind.
- ‘Offshore and Onshore Wind’ – the first time an onshore wind theatre has appeared at the heart of the busy and buzzing exhibition, which already features GE Vernova, Statkraft and Red Rock Renewables. On the exhibitor list.
- ‘Hydrogen and Energy Storage’.
- ‘Marine Renewables and FLOW (floating offshore wind)’.
- The ‘Dcarbonise Theatre’ focussing on the decarbonisation of Heat and the Built Environment, and on Transport.
- Future Talent, dedicated to inspiring the next generation of energy professionals and those joining the sectors from other industries .
- The Insight Energy Theatre designed as the home for innovative renewable energy solutions, AI and sustainable practices that are driving energy transition. It will also feature ‘Community and Local Energy ‘ which has long played a key role at All-Energy.
There is no Call for Speakers for the main conference, with its two plenary and 11 parallel sessions, that involves invited politicians and key industry, government and academic stakeholders. Within the All-Energy programme every source of renewable energy, the grid and networks, hydrogen and energy storage, investment, purchase power agreements (PPAs) and much more will be covered. The Dcarbonise programme will focus on the decarbonisation of heat and the built environment, transport, cities/places, industry, the supply chain – and more.
Discussions are currently under way with many of those key stakeholders identifying themes for panel discussions and presentations that will be highly relevant in May 2025; Glasgow’s 850th birthday will also play a part. The conference programme will be launched in January 2025.
As Anam Khan explains: “The arrival of a new UK government with its far-reaching plans for energy decarbonisation, and the Scottish Government’s recently published Energy Strategy and Green Industrial Strategy ensures there will be a fresh feel within the discussions and presentations that will feature in the 50+ panel discussions and presentations over the two days.”
New team at the helm
Anam Khan, All-Energy and Dcarbonise’s new Event Manager has extensive experience in launching events across new markets, particularly asset management and ESG, and has successfully lead teams and developed strategies to drive business growth.
She commented: “This is a particularly exciting time to join All-Energy and Dcarbonise, especially as the event experiences significant growth. I am eager to contribute to and be a part of this dynamic journey as it progresses and evolves.”
Anam is joined by another new face to All-Energy and Dcarbonise. Mariana Barrios, who has been Conference Manager at RX’s The London Book Fair for the past two years. She has joined All-Energy and Dcarbonise in a similar role and will be working closely with Judith Patten MBE, who continues as Conference Project Director. Together they will be working to build upon the highly successful content programmes over many years at All-Energy and Dcarbonise, reflecting the evolving nature of the energy industry.
Not only does All-Energy and Dcarbonise have a new Event Manager and a new Conference Manager, RX’s new Portfolio Director Energy and Marine, Gareth Rapley is also in place. He has taken over from Jonathan Heastie as Energy & Marine Portfolio Director responsible for SPE Offshore Europe (OE) and Oceanology International as well as All-Energy. Jonathan is now overseeing RX’s recently acquired portfolio of worldwide hydrogen events.
Gareth brings more than 15 years of events leadership and energy experience having previously worked for RX on SPE Offshore Europe for nine years, latterly as Exhibition Director before spending three years in the Middle East with dmg events and Informa Markets. Most recently, he returned to London as Director of The London Book Fair.
He commented: “I am delighted to have rejoined the energy industry. All-Energy and Dcarbonise, SPE Offshore Europe, and Oceanology International combine to represent many facets of the energy and marine industries. These are valuable national assets that need to be secured and developed to continue to deliver for the UK and our events provide very successful platforms to further these aims.”
