The Carbon Show will bridge the gap between all sectors of the carbon community at the UK's first exhibition dedicated to trading, managing and reducing carbon. The exhibition, which takes place at ExCeL London on 29 and 30 September, will mark the first time that so many key players in the low carbon industry have been available to discuss the government’s recently revealed Low Carbon Industrial Strategy and the forthcoming Copenhagen summit.
The Carbon Show will open with an exclusive VIP breakfast hosted by the Rt Hon the Lord Michael Heseltine CH, Chairman, Haymarket Media Group, who will deliver a speech on the future of the low carbon economy. Lord Heseltine recognises the value of bringing together professionals to engage with the important topic of climate change: “I think it is particularly important in a time of political instability, such as we are now facing, that the public and private sectors combine resources in engaging with important issues, in order to help secure a stable future for the economy. If we are to succeed in implementing the government’s plans for a low carbon future, we must act now, and we must act together.”
2degrees, an online networking forum which has over 4500 members from the environmental sector, will team up with environmental consultancy AEA to provide attendees to The Carbon Show with an exclusive opportunity to discuss today's CRC issues with industry professionals. Gill Harris, Marketing Manager for 2degrees believes that “networking areas at events such as the Carbon Show are invaluable to the 2degrees Team as they provide the perfect opportunity for our members to meet face-to-face and take their online networking activities offline.”
Visitors are invited to meet Daniel Waller and Mark Johnson, as well as the 2degrees
Solutions Team, and discuss the challenges faced by businesses as Britain transitions to a low carbon economy, whilst relaxing and enjoying a complimentary glass of wine. The networking session will be available from 15:15-16:45 on Tuesday 29th September, but the benefits don't stop there – with the help of the 2degrees team you can find out how to make the most of online networking opportunities for your business.
Also not to be missed is the launch of the Carbon Yearbook 2009/10, which is published by ENDS Carbon. The Carbon Yearbook will provide a definitive guide to all the issues surrounding carbon reduction and the carbon markets, with contributions from key thinkers such as:
- Stavros Dimas, EU Environment Commissioner
- Steve Howard, CEO, The Climate Group
- Connie Hedegaard, Danish Minister for Climate & Energy
- Lord Hunt, minister in UK DECC
- Tom Delay, chief executive, the Carbon Trust
- Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary, UNFCCC
Meet the authors and selected contributors of the Carbon Yearbook at a special drinks
reception, set to be one of the networking highlights of the carbon calendar. All attendees to The Carbon Show receive free entry to the drinks reception, where they will be able to pick up a complimentary copy of the Carbon Yearbook (worth £75).
