Connecting the people shaping the future of energy from waste

For over 20 years, the organisers of the Energy from Waste London conference have delivered leading events that bring together the people shaping the future of the sector.

Last year marked an exciting new chapter as we expanded into the Middle East for the first time. In Dubai, we welcomed more than 100 senior policymakers, industry leaders, financiers, investors, energy-from-waste managers, technical experts and engineers.

Across two action-packed days, attendees exchanged valuable insights, formed meaningful connections and explored new business opportunities within the rapidly developing energy-from-waste market.

Interest in waste-to-energy and the use of waste as a valuable resource is growing worldwide, with the Middle East emerging as one of the sector’s most dynamic and rapidly developing markets.

My highlight and favourite experience was the site visit because it opened my eyes to how waste-to-energy plants operate.
