In a fast-changing energy industry, now is the time for inspiration!
The programme for this anniversary Conference can be summed up in one word: inspiration. The objective of the Smart Energy Event is to inspire participants with original thinking and dynamic presentations of energy-related projects.
Rather than looking back, at the origins of the Smart Energy Event for example (which began in 2011 in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident), the organisers are lifting the veil on the different scenarios awaiting the energy industry in the coming years, and delivering insight into the practices that are working in Switzerland and abroad.
Smart energy management is about more than power grids, installed capacities and solar panels. It is about corporate organisation, business models and other ideas that bring progress to the world and help us to safeguard the environment.
Welcome on board for a different kind of journey, one that will surprise you, but also – and more importantly – inspire you.
The "physical" version of the event is now SOLD OUT.
You can opt for the online version.

Feedback

Very well organized, availability, flexibility and support at the top!

I've been coming to the Smart Energy event since 2013. The quality is always very high, both in the conference sessions and in the facilities and general organisation. Particularly good for such a reasonable price!

A very worthwhile day, in terms of both the quality of the speakers and the networking opportunities.

Excellent and informative day. A welcome opportunity to make or renew contacts.

Bravo to the organisers for their choice of speakers, particularly those who have a somewhat broader vision and enable us to think differently.

You've succeeded in finding new input for every edition, even though Smart Energy is the theme for many conferences, which sometimes repeat one another. Well done!

Congratulations for this day, which allowed many fruitful exchanges and the opportunity to hear top specialists in their respective fields.
