of interest from renewable and sustainable energy and business energy efficiency to encompass ‘Sustainable Cities’. Tis last theme will bring together national and international initiatives and business strands that go together to help develop sustainable cities and towns. Indeed, visitors will be able to follow
the ‘Sustainable Cities’ trail around the exhibition. It’s one of 15 subject-specific trails (each with their own guide) designed to help visitors to find exactly what they need, and exhibitors to know that those who come to their stand really have an interest in what they are showing. Other trails are for bioenergy, energy
efficiency, energy storage, hydropower, investment, jobs, low-carbon transport, on and offshore wind, offshore maintenance, professional services, renewable heat, solar energy and wave and tidal. Depending on their field, exhibitors can be on more than one trail.
Te show features its own app – the
All-Energy app – for smartphone and tablet, designed to be an invaluable aid to delegates. It will help navigation around the large event and, even before arrival, it will enable exhibitors and visitors to organise meetings with buyers or suppliers and with industry colleagues.
Te app will also give users access to hotel
and travel discounts, enable them to browse the conference and seminar programmes and is aimed to generally make effective use of time spent at the show.
Wide-ranging conference
Te conference part of All-Energy encompasses all sources of renewable energy generation – onshore and offshore wind, wave and tidal, bioenergy (biomass; biogas; biofuel; and energy from waste, including anaerobic digestion), hydropower, solar and geothermal as well as the opportunities and challenges facing each of these sectors. It also embraces other industry ‘component
parts’, including the grid, skills and finance and funding. And big project developers will outline their tendering process and ‘shopping lists’ in the ‘Meet the Buyers’ Share Fair, and then make use of the special one-to-one meeting facility on the exhibition show floor for pre-booked and timed meetings. Elsewhere in the exhibition, UK Trade &
Investment (UKTI) will be staging one-to-one meetings between UKTI overseas energy specialists and representatives of UK exhibiting or visiting companies eager to find out about export opportunities. Tis part of the show is called the UKTI
International Business Exchange (IBEX). It is expected to feature specialists from Algeria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Peru, Morocco, Mexico, Poland and Vietnam with others being added to the list.
