Industry News: All-Energy marks 25 years with new Strategic Summit committee

Leading voices from across the energy sector appointed to shape programme

All-Energy, the UK’s leading low-carbon energy and renewables event, has established a dedicated Strategic Summit committee for the first time to drive its streamlined 2026 programme at the SEC Glasgow from 13-14 May 2026.

A cohort of 29 leading experts from across the energy sector will shape the direction, focus and relevance of this year’s conference which will spotlight the most important challenges, opportunities, and innovations driving the transition. Key themes will cover investment and finance, transmission reform, skills and workforce, supply chain and circular economy with open plenaries scheduled for both days of the event.

The committee brings together high-profile leaders such as Iain Sinclair, Executive Director at GES Holding; Morag Watson, Director of Onshore at Scottish Renewables; Philippa Parmiter, CEO at NECCUS; and Clare Foster, Head of Clean Energy from Shepherd and Wedderburn, alongside representatives from Siemens Energy, EDF, BEAMA, Hitachi Energy, Crown Estate, and SSEN-Transmission. The full Strategic Summit list can be viewed here: Strategic Summit Committee.

Anam Khan, All-Energy Event Manager at RX Global said:

“We are excited to be introducing a formal Executive Committee for the first time, marking a significant step forward in how the conference is shaped. By working closely with industry leaders, we are building an agenda that not only reflects where the sector is today, but where it needs to go next. Their insight is helping us introduce new topics and themes, including a key focus on finance and skills, streamline the conference structure, and create more engaging, thought-provoking discussions that will support the industry through the next phase of the energy transition.”

Driving the event, Ashley Privitera has been appointed Conference Manager for All-Energy. She joined RX Global in 2025 and brings several years of conference production and management experience, including holding the role of Conference Manager for SPE Offshore Europe. Ashley will oversee the delivery of the 2026 programme, working closely with the Strategic Summit committee and show floor theatre programme to ensure a highly targeted programme.

She commented:

“All-Energy is set to be a milestone year for the event as we celebrate our 25th anniversary and it will set the stage for meaningful discussions with industry peers, policy makers, academics and C-suite professionals. It’s a pivotal time for the energy sector with challenges around grid capacity, policy uncertainty and skills shortages. Addressing these barriers collaboratively is essential to drive the energy transition forward and I look forward to working closely with the committee to support this important discussion.”

Registration for All-Energy 2026 will open on Tuesday 20 January – tickets can be booked here.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
