Having acquired All-Energy, the UK’s largest renewable energy exhibition and
conference, in July 2011 and bought a majority share in All-Energy Australia in
early 2012, Reed Exhibitions is now expanding into the North American renewables
market.
This new event is being held in association with the Ontario Sustainable
Energy Association (OSEA) and, like the two other All-Energy events, will
encompass all aspects of renewable and sustainable energy, combining a major
exhibition and highly relevant and topical conference.
Dr. David DeYoe, President of the OSEA Board, explains: “OSEA is thrilled
that Reed Exhibitions has chosen to collaborate with us for this continent’s
All-Energy. Clearly they recognize the important role that OSEA has played in
shaping the sustainable energy agenda in Ontario and in providing a positive
influence in the balance of North America. The All-Energy event model has been
successful in both the UK and Australia, and together we will make it a success
here.”
“Developing All-Energy Canada with OSEA is an important step in securing our
position in the North American alternative energy market,” says Jonathan
Heastie, Exhibition Director, Renewable and Alternative Energy Global Group,
Reed Exhibitions. “What’s more it is a key element of our global renewable
energy strategy, the expansion of which was a deciding factor when acquiring
All-Energy.
“Our growing portfolio of global alternative energy events also includes
World Smart Energy Week (Tokyo), World Future Energy Summit (Abu Dhabi), Asia
Future Energy Forum (Singapore), and Fenesucro & Agrocana (Sertaozinho,
Brazil). Over 165,000 visitors attended the 18 Reed Exhibitions’ alternative
energy events in 2011, meeting 3,000 exhibitors and taking part in fascinating
and highly relevant conference sessions, and networking to great effect. We
will leverage our knowledge and contacts within the industry through this
portfolio of leading events to help develop All-Energy Canada”.
The All-Energy ‘parent’ show, held in Aberdeen, Scotland annually since 2001,
is often referred to as “the AGM of the UK renewables industry” and now attracts
total attendance in excess of 8,300 with nearly 600 exhibiting companies and a
packed conference and seminar programme of over 300 speakers dealing with all
forms of renewable energy and the opportunities and challenges faced by the
sectors.
