Connecting the people shaping the future of energy from waste and waste to value.

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 200 senior policymakers, industry leaders, financiers, investors, energy-from-waste managers, technical experts and engineers.

This year Energy from Waste Middle East is even more important, highlighting the value of waste to energy and waste to value, not only for landfill diversion, but as an economic asset and a source of circularity in energy and resources.

With globally important projects in the UAE showcasing excellence in waste to energy and waste to value, Energy from Waste Middle East provides a unique, focused and highly valuable opportunity to learn about latest developments, share knowledge and expertise and connect with key people across waste management, policy, finance, investment, delivery and more.
