The UK’s largest renewable energy exhibition and conference, All-Energy ’07 kicks off on 23-24 May. Yet more proof that if you get them right, exhibitions can be successful, the event mirrors the growing business interest globally in renewable energy, with the 300 exhibitors and 160 speakers expecting to attract considerably more than last year’s 2,850 visitors. What’s more, travelling up to Scotland for the event appears no object, as the venue is the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.

This year’s show boasts a far larger range of exhibits than ever before, representing every sector of the industry: from large wind developments to all forms of microgeneration; wave and tidal devices from home and overseas (probably the largest gathering of them ever); and large-scale biomass and fuel from waste plants to wood chip boilers.

With large pavilions from Scotland, Austria, Denmark, Canada, Denmark and the USA and individual exhibits from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Thailand and the USA, there is a rich choice on show designed to meet the interests of major onshore and offshore project developers to architects and builders; financiers to manufacturers; academics to farmers. “It's an almost endless list of people who could benefit from wider knowledge of what is on offer, and the opportunity to meet those actively involved face-to-face,” commented the organisers.

The free-to-attend conference running alongside the exhibition opens with a plenary session addressed by UK Energy Minister Lord Truscott among other key energy players. Energy policy and the latest technological developments will be the key issues addressed over the course of the two days.
