EMEX 2026

EMEX 2026 is a two-day energy management, sustainability, and smart buildings exhibition taking place on 25–26 November 2026 at ExCeL London, United Kingdom. The event brings together energy, sustainability, estates, facilities, and net-zero professionals with technology providers and solution companies. The 2026 edition features 100+ speakers, 100+ exhibitors, eight conference theatres and learning spaces, with a focus on practical solutions for energy efficiency, decarbonisation, smart buildings, resilience, and net zero.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of EMEX is to connect organisations with technologies, expertise, and practical strategies that can reduce energy consumption, improve building performance, lower costs, and accelerate decarbonisation. The event is designed for professionals responsible for sustainability, energy management, facilities, estates, and net-zero delivery across both private and public-sector organisations.

Key Activities

The event combines an exhibition with a free conference programme, CPD-accredited sessions, keynote presentations, case studies, workshops, roundtables, training, and networking. New for 2026 are the Solutions Showcase, Keynote Theatre, Estates Gazette Theatre, and expanded networking opportunities.

Significance

EMEX is significant because it brings together the UK sustainability and energy management community around practical implementation rather than only high-level sustainability commitments. Its combination of technology suppliers, expert-led learning, case studies, and professional networking gives attendees direct access to solutions for improving energy performance and reducing emissions.

Expected Outcomes

Participants can expect practical insight into energy management, decarbonisation, smart buildings, and sustainability technologies, alongside opportunities to compare suppliers and develop professional relationships. The event is intended to help organisations identify applicable solutions, strengthen energy performance, and turn sustainability objectives into measurable action.
