ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The Duke of Edinburgh Future Energy Conference is the third in an ongoing series of successful conferences for the energy industries, covering a wide spectrum of disciplines throughout the Energy sector, and supporting professions such as finance, public policy, insurance and law.
Organised by The Worshipful Company of Fuellers, speakers include senior professionals in industry and academia from across the disciplines of science, engineering, finance and government policy to explore one of the greatest challenges facing society today: the transition to a sustainable global energy future. By bringing together diverse knowledge, interests and experience, we will explore these key challenges in a holistic way.
The one-day conference is open to anyone with an interest in energy. We aim to stimulate debate: sharing differences and building new relationships. We hope to inspire the next generation of energy professionals.
Experienced practitioners can network, while people new to energy can build new relationships.
