The Annual Midlands Net Zero Hub Conference

12 October 2022

You’re invited to the very first Annual Midlands Net Zero Hub Conference.

With the Midlands Energy Hub having rebranded to Midlands Net Zero Hub earlier this year, it is a great opportunity for key stakeholders in the region to come together and look at successes and challenges of the last four years. At the conference, we will also take a look to the future as we continue to drive the decarbonisation agenda forward to achieve net zero through collaboration across the region.

At this day event, you will get the opportunity to hear successful case studies from across the Midlands that are supporting local authorities and organisations to transition to net zero.

Overview

Over the past four years, the Hub has been assisting local authorities in the region and beyond to decarbonise by helping to develop and finance local projects that support the net zero agenda. The Annual Midlands Net Zero Conference will focus on practical ways that public sector organisations can reduce their carbon emissions in sustainable ad cost-effective ways.

We will be joined by experts and key regional stakeholders who will present case studies of successful projects delivered in the region, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions, share learnings, and collaborate.
