Each year, the Energy Institute Young Professionals Network (EIYPN) host a charity dinner to celebrate the hard work of the committee and fundraise for a worthy cause – this year we have selected to raise awareness and money for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation and are delighted to announce that we have selected the Sandman Signature Hotel & Spa to host our celebrations on the 8th of November 2024.

2024 has been a year like no other for the EIYPN, with record numbers of attendees at our events and inspirational speakers – our annual dinner is no exception! Not only will we be celebrating the EIYPN, but the energy industry as a whole – touching on where we were, the positive changes and innovations that have got us to where we are today and where we are going with the energy transition and the part we play in making the industry better.

With this in mind, we are delighted to announce we will have not one, but two incredible keynote speakers for this event:

  • Steve Rae, Director of Fortitude – Action Beyond Compliance and a leading safety influencer with more than 40 years of experience in the offshore sector and survivor of the Piper Alpha disaster.
  • Neil McCulloch, CEO of Spirit Energy, Operator Co-Chair at Offshore Energies UK and member of the NSTA Energy Transition Steering Group.

Guests can expect an evening of full of food, live music, dancing, and a chance to catch up or network with friends and colleagues. The evening’s programme will commence with a drink reception in the foyer from 18:00 and a 3-course meal seated at 19:00. This event is created for Professionals, not just those who are considering themselves ‘young’! 

This years tickets are at £95 per person, tables will be seated 10-12 persons and so any tickets purchased that are not a full table will be seated at a mixed table. Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in purchasing tickets.

Get in touch

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

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.
