Emex

Emex returns once again to ExCeL, London on the 19th & 20th November 2025 and this year we’re delighted to be expanding into the world of smart buildings alongside our core focus of energy management and net zero.

As the sector grows, we’re thrilled to welcome an even bigger audience to the 2025 show including everyone involved with smart and connected buildings, as well as our loyal visitors from the energy, sustainability and facilities management space. Emex will pair thousands of key decision makers with a vibrant array of exhibitors showcasing the latest technology and solutions focused innovations to drive UK businesses towards a net zero future.

So what can you expect from emex 2025?

One of the biggest draws for visitors to the show is the first class free programme of content on offer across both days. Split over four theatres, visitors can take advantage of solutions focused learning from 130+ industry leading speakers in panel discussions, presentations and case studies, plus hands on training, workshops and much, much more.

Reflecting the show’s expansion into the world of connected buildings, we’re delighted to announce the launch of the Smart Buildings Theatre, which will host dedicated content around this growing industry sector and we’re also welcoming back the ever popular theatres covering: Energy & Carbon Management Strategy, Energy Future & Flexible Networks and Sustainability & Net Zero. 

Our fifth content space at emex, in partnership with Estates Gazette hosts a variety of workshops, roundtables and the all important networking opportunities that continue to engage visitors at the show. Plus, hands on training and much more. Net zero experts are provided with the opportunity to deliver their expertise providing engaging and informative content to our diverse audience to continue or start their net zero journey. 

After the unprecedented success of their appearance at emex 2024, we’re pleased to welcome back BSI Group who are offering free, 30 minute CPD accredited training sessions throughout both days on key topics for those involved with energy management.

They are the national standards body of the UK and getting free access to their training is an opportunity not to be missed. These courses are an excellent way to improve your knowledge if you are new to this field, or if you want to build further on what you already know.

What’s new to emex in 2025?

New for 2025 is an exclusive partnership with Cornwall Insight who are the pre eminent provider of research, analysis, consulting and training to businesses and stakeholders in the UK and Irish energy markets.

Across both days of the show they will be helping visitors upskill on changes in the GB energy markets by delivering training sessions on relevant topics. This is a unique opportunity to talk to the experts and futureproof your knowledge on this rapidly changing area.

What’s on across the four theatres?

Following the opening address by the chair of the conference, Lord Rupert Redesdale, the conference will dive into two days of cutting-edge content across four dedicated stages: Energy and Carbon Management, Sustainability & Net Zero, Energy Future & Flexible Networks and Smart Buildings and Built Environment.

The demands of energy managers are evolving beyond a focus on energy-efficient systems and buildings to consider other utilities, adapt to a world of smart technology, and often lead the transition to a low-carbon economy. This year's sessions will offer practical insights into the future of energy management, from the impact of smart technologies and AI, to decarbonising high-impact and growing industries such as data centres.

Recently, we have seen a phenomenon of pushing back on net-zero goals and “green hushing”. Emex will refocus the conversation on tangible business benefits. What are the financial benefits of long-term planning and future thinking? We will address scope 3 emissions, supply chain complexities, and the value of voluntary disclosure. With changing demands and increasing pressures on sustainability professionals, how does one cope with the pressure?

Top leaders from well-known UK and global organisations will address repositioning the business case for embedding sustainability into their organisations, keeping on track for net zero goals, and how their climate resilient plans can be adapted for your organisations.

In the world of the built environment, we will tackle retrofitting challenges, decode the world of digital twins, IOT and highlight case studies of smart, low-carbon energy-efficient buildings in both the private and public sectors.

Meanwhile, the Energy Futures stage (delivered with Power Responsive and NESO) will demystify flexibility markets, demand-side response, and how to access those markets.

Closing the conference, a completely new feature for 2025, a pitch competition with five innovative startups battling it out for a prize in front of a panel of judges from Finance, Retail, Telco, Logistics and Airports sectors.
