Join us in Manchester to exchange your point of view with your peers and engage in excellent networking opportunities.
COVID-19
ACI is doing everything to ensure that all its events go ahead as advertised. Like you, we are keen to get the meetings to happen and return to some form of normality. We are constantly tracking WHO updates, local government regulations and talking to our attendees wherever possible. Venues are chosen and procedures are adjusted in order to make the conferences possible.
But we do accept that these are exceptionally challenging times and the updates are very fast moving. As such, it may help you to understand how and why we arrive at decisions on moving ahead with any current event: One month before the meeting we again re-assess the situation specific to the individual summit, both local to the event and globally. We then take a decision as to the viability of holding the meeting as if it were happening the very next day. If it is possible to run on that basis, we will proceed. If not, we will be forced to take the decision to postpone the event to a later and better date.

HOW CAN WE HELP FUEL YOUR BUSINESS?
Solar 21 is a renewable energy development company headquartered in Dublin with staff in the UK and Italy. It was founded in 2010 to give private investors the opportunity to invest in renewable energy – an asset class which has the potential to provide excellent returns but which was not easily accessible to individual investors. The company began by acquiring operational assets in Solar PV but has since expanded into other technologies. It built an award-winning 22MW biomass plant in Hull and is developing a portfolio of biogas and EFW plants in the north-east. Driven by the vision of Andrew and Michael Bradley, the company has sustained its commitment to renewable energy by remaining agile in a sector that is constantly evolving according to market, political and environmental drivers. With a project pipeline valued at over £2.4bn, Solar 21 is poised to drive significant foreign direct investment in UK renewable energy.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:
• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions
Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
