Hub Sessions

The Future of Energy - Live and Free

200+ sessions. 10 stages. The pulse of the energy transition

The Hub Sessions are a powerhouse of ideas, action, and access - all included with a free Expo Pass.

At the heart of the exhibition floor, the Hub Sessions Programme brings together inspiring leaders, industry experts, and hands-on practitioners to share how the energy transition is being delivered today - and where it’s headed next.

From practical case studies to innovative technologies, from policy insights to project outcomes, the Hub Sessions offer cross-sector knowledge that’s relevant, actionable, and rooted in real-world experience.

Come curious, leave empowered.

See below which were the themes that powered the Hub Sessions.
