What to expect at emex?

Free-to-attend learning opportunities across four themed theatres where visitors can take full advantage of solutions‑focused learning from 100+ industry‑leading speakers in panel discussions, presentations and case studies. Our incredible line-up of speakers includes April Sotomayor, Head of Industry Sustainability at BAFTA, Chloë Fiddy, Senior Policy and Engagement Lead Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation at ISEP, Philip Tamuno, Head of Sustainability and Net Zero at Homerton Hospital NHS, Sarah Handley, Head of Sustainability and Environmental Governance at Siemens Energy and Swati Singh, E&S Global Lead at CBRE.

For 2025, emex welcomes back ever‑popular content hubs covering: Energy & Carbon Management Strategy, Energy Future & Flexible Networks and Sustainability & Net Zero as well as introducing the brand new Smart Buildings & Built Environment theatre.

The Smart Buildings & Built Environment space will host dedicated content around this latest area of energy management. From retrofitting to the role of AI and IoT in connected buildings, there are plenty of sessions to give you answers and food for thought in your own sphere and emex is delighted to have the support of Estates Gazette who will be chairing this exciting new theatre. Considered by many to be “The Bible of Commercial Property”, for the best part of 200 years, Estates Gazette has provided essential news, insights, and market intelligence for generations of property professionals.

The fifth content hub at emex is our Workshops & Interactive Space, that hosts a variety of workshops, roundtables, hands-on training and all‑important networking opportunities that continue to engage the audience at the show. Visitors have the chance to participate in smaller, interactive groups and is an opportunity not to be missed. Navigating your corporate path can be tricky at times, regardless of how many years of experience you have under your belt and emex is delighted to welcome ISEP and YEP again this year who will be delivering intimate mentoring sessions across both days of the show. If you have professional challenges that you would like to discuss or would simply like to expand your network, these are perfect for you. Senior ISEP members will be on hand to provide career guidance and insights for those established in their careers and the YEP, who support the next generation of energy industry leaders, will be available for those who have not long started out. 

Other highlighted sessions happening across both days of the show include;

• The Third Wave of Sustainability: join speaker Lucy Ronan, Chief Impact Officer & Co-founder, Groundswell, part of Octopus Group in the Sustainability and Net Zero Theatre.
• A Different Kind of Erosion: Uncover why this work can sometimes feel like the hardest job on the planet, lead by Liv Cropper, Transformational Coach at Yellow Bench Coaching, in the Workshops and Interactive Space
