CIGRE SESSION 2024: An event not to miss and here’s why

We’re getting ready for the number one global power system event in the world – CIGRE Session 2024. 

From August 25th to 30th, we’ll be joining over 9,000 of our peers from across the global energy community to continue the collaboration and sharing of end-to-end power system expertise. With 120+ countries represented, this truly is a unique opportunity to gain insights and perspectives you may not have had the opportunity to learn from before.

This bi-annual conference provides a unique opportunity to engage with our customers, partners, and peers as we continue to accelerate the energy transition. But with so many people to speak with, exhibits to see and speeches to attend, where do you start?

2024: The year for breaking records

This year’s CIGRE SESSION is already breaking records.

Pushing boundaries with inclusivity at our core

We’re delighted to be the exclusive sponsor of the Women in Energy (WiE) Forum, taking place on Thursday, 29^th August, 11:00-14:00​.

The WiE mission is to inspire women in energy and demonstrate the influence of female professional communities, a mission we are fully behind as we recognize that a sustainable energy future is only possible when everyone has a seat at the table. Collaboration, diversity and promoting our industry as a career path are embedded into our core.

This challenge is bigger than one company, one team and one individual. Collaboration and diversity of thought are essential to finding the solutions our world needs and are key to thinking up and designing the great innovations we need to realize a sustainable energy future. After all, we achieve more together.

Open to all visitors, join Laura Fleming, Country Managing Director UK & Ireland as she takes to the stage to discuss:
