Why This Conference Exists

Public bodies across Scotland are responsible for thousands of assets, estates, facilities and infrastructure networks.

They are facing rising expectations, evolving regulations and increasing delivery pressures across:

  • Heat decarbonisation

  • Retrofit & refurbishment

  • Grid capacity and electrification

  • Transport, fleets & mobility

  • Energy efficiency

  • Heat networks

  • Local energy systems

  • Net-zero funding & procurement

This conference exists to bring project owners and problem-solvers into the same room to accelerate real-world delivery.

What Makes This Event Different?

This is not a trade show. | This is not a generic expo.

This is a curated strategy conference built around what public-sector attendees need in order to deliver their projects.

Public-Sector Delegate Registration

The unique model includes:

  • All delegates must meet strict criteria and be actively responsible for net-zero, estates, infrastructure or decarbonisation projects.

  • Eligible delegates receive a bursary-funded ticket, including full catering, refreshments and access to all sessions.

  • The agenda is built around the challenges public bodies tell us they need support with.

  • Every partner is selected because they can provide practical solutions to the priority themes identified by delegates.

  • All presentations take place in the main plenary — no competing breakouts, no dilution.
