annual conference London 2010

On March 4 2010, SmartestEnergy held our Annual Conference in London on the theme "An evolving market, how will you achieve your energy goals?"

> Watch the news report video

Leading experts from across the energy industry came together to share their experiences, and together with SmartestEnergy, give guidance and support to help delegates deliver their energy goals in this evolving landscape.

Speakers from The Aldersgate Group, Tesco, Wind Direct, Encore International and the Carbon Trust each gave presentations covering the different challenges facing energy professionals.

In the afternoon, delegates took advantage of more specialist break-out sessions on Credit, Volume and Mark to Market, Carbon Reduction Commitment, Green House Gas and Feed in Tariffs, and Hidden Costs facilitated by SmartestEnergy and other industry experts.

The day was an overwhelming success for SmartestEnergy with over 120 delegates in attendance, and from the feedback we have received so far, we are aiming to achieve the same success next year.
