The Energy Innovation Agency is delighted to announce its fifth annual conference is taking place on Wednesday 28th October at INNSiDE by Melia, Manchester.

This year's event – “Driving Sustainability: Practical Action, Lower Costs, Improved Efficiency” - will bring together organisations from Greater Manchester and beyond to explore practical approaches to reducing costs, improving efficiency, understanding funding and taking action to respond to today's sustainability challenges.

Delegates can expect an insightful programme featuring keynote speakers, panel discussions, real-world case studies, and expert insights, with a real focus on key challenges, what works in practice and how organisations can move from ambition to action in their sustainability journey.

Through examples of successful collaborations and impactful projects we will demonstrate how organisations across the public and private sectors are reducing their carbon footprint, improving energy efficiency and resilience, and unlocking cost-effective pathways to decarbonisation.

Dedicated networking time will give delegates the opportunity to make new connections and strengthen existing relationships with the expected audience of around 100 sustainability and low carbon professionals.

This is our fifth and  most ambitious in-person event to date, bringing together key stakeholders from across industry, the public sector and academia. By sharing knowledge, showcasing proven approaches, solutions and business models, and creating new partnerships, we can help accelerate action and impact, ensuring that innovation delivers tangible, sustainable benefits for businesses, communities and the wider economy, in Greater-Manchester, and beyond
