emex: The Energy Management + Smart Buildings Expo

Turn sustainability ambition into action at emex 2026

emex 2026 returns to ExCeL London on 25-26 November 2026, bringing together the people, technologies and practical solutions helping organisations reduce carbon, improve energy performance and make measurable progress against their sustainability goals.

As the UK’s leading event for energy management and net zero delivery, emex will welcome more than 4,500 professionals from industry, commerce, the public sector and the built environment. For sustainability professionals, it offers the opportunity to explore how organisations are responding to some of today’s biggest challenges, from decarbonisation and climate resilience to energy security, building performance and the transition from targets to delivery.

With sustainability teams under increasing pressure to demonstrate progress, manage costs and build resilience into their organisations, emex 2026 will focus firmly on practical action. Visitors can discover the technologies, strategies and partnerships that can help turn sustainability commitments into real-world results.

At the heart of the event is an extensive free-to-attend conference programme featuring more than 200 expert speakers across a series of specialist theatres and content spaces.

The Keynote Theatre will address the major issues shaping the energy and sustainability landscape, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers and experts to discuss decarbonisation, energy security, resilience, market developments and the changing demands facing organisations.

For sustainability professionals looking to explore the bigger questions facing the sector, the Sustainability Theatre will offer a more conversational and interactive format. Sessions will examine issues including the growing role of AI, the shift towards climate adaptation and practical approaches to delivering sustainability objectives within organisations.

The Power Responsive Theatre will explore flexibility, demand-side response and distributed energy resources, examining how organisations can support a more resilient and efficient energy system while also identifying potential commercial and operational benefits.

Meanwhile, the Solutions Showcase Theatre will focus on implementation. Through real-world projects and case studies, visitors will hear how organisations are applying technologies and sustainability strategies in practice, including the challenges encountered, lessons learned and measurable results achieved.

The built environment will also be a major focus. Delivered in partnership with Estates Gazette, the dedicated real estate programme will explore how building owners, investors, developers and occupiers can improve asset performance, reduce environmental impact and prepare property portfolios for a changing regulatory and commercial landscape. Topics will include smarter technologies, sustainability investment, existing building performance and future-proofing assets.

Beyond the theatres, emex 2026 will host focused roundtable discussions and networking sessions, giving attendees the opportunity to exchange experiences directly with peers, experts and solution providers. These smaller discussions are designed to encourage practical knowledge sharing around common sustainability challenges, emerging opportunities and proven approaches.

Across the exhibition, visitors can explore the latest products, services and technologies supporting energy management, onsite generation, flexibility, building optimisation, carbon reduction and wider sustainability strategies.

Whether your focus is cutting emissions, improving energy efficiency, strengthening climate and operational resilience or making sustainability targets more achievable, emex 2026 offers the insight, connections and practical solutions to help turn plans into progress.

Join more than 4,500 energy, sustainability and built environment professionals at ExCeL London on 25-26 November 2026 and discover new ways to create a more efficient, resilient and sustainable organisation.
