The UK’s largest renewable energy exhibition and conference continues to grow in both terms of size and status. The tenth show in the annual All-Energy series, being held in Aberdeen on 19 and 20 May 2010, is set to be larger than any show in the history of the event. Already almost 90% of the available space 4,500m2 net has been booked or reserved by companies and organisations from home and overseas. There are in fact only 30 stands left with five months to go before the show opens.

“All-Energy has consistently grown in every aspect including numbers of exhibitors, space taken and attendance, so it certainly looks as if All-Energy 2010 will continue this trend,” says Event Director, Jamie Thompson. “The show has long been held in association with BWEA and Scottish Renewables; now we are pleased to be able to announce that, for the first time, All-Energy 2010 is being held in association with UK Trade & Industry (UKTI).

“Working with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), UKTI has long been an official supporter of the show, and in 2009 they brought Inward Missions from 29 countries to the exhibition and conference. This year UKTI has exchanged their ‘official supporter’ participation for a more active role – a real feather in the show’s cap!

“We are proud of our booking statistics, which see interest from several countries new to All-Energy eager to host pavilions at the 2010 show including France, Latvia, Lithuania, and Italy, as well as group pavilions from Austria, Canada, Denmark, Flanders, and Norway, Scottish regions and Northern Ireland, and individual companies from home and overseas.”

All-Energy, organised by Media Generation Events in partnership with QMDI, is held with input from a wide range of organisations ranging from government departments (Westminster and Holyrood), to professional bodies and trade associations. The Society for Underwater Technology is the show’s Learned Society Patron.

Conference taking shape
The free-to-attend conference is taking shape. With some 250 speakers expected to be involved during the course of the two days, the call for papers has resulted in far more submissions than ever before. The conference will look at all sources of renewable energy, policy, challenges and opportunities for a wide range of users.

“We have received well in excess of 150 abstracts and suggestions for topics,” explains Project Director Judith Patten who is responsible for the conference. “Now the hard work begins for topic steering groups and ‘session champions’ who will pore over submissions, and make suggestions about speakers to be invited in order for the conference to be highly topical and relevant to all elements of the renewable energy industry and those interested in embracing all it offers.”

All-Energy has a particularly well-used website. “We are currently seeing upwards of 17,000 unique visitors each month looking at over 175,000 pages,” says Jamie Thompson. “One contributory factor is undoubtedly our free news ezine News@All-Energy, featuring regularly updated news on all aspects of renewable energy, and RSS feeds. In an average week there can be as many as 90 news stories on the site covering the whole renewable energy sphere. All are encompassed in our huge archive on the site. Naturally, the closer we get to show-time, the greater the web traffic we will experience.”

All-Energy 2009 attracted a total attendance of 5,500 from 60 countries, including 250+/- speakers; and over 380 exhibiting companies from 14 countries.
