Hub Sessions

The future of energy. Live and free.

200+ sessions. 10 stages. The pulse of the energy transition. The Hub Sessions are a powerhouse of ideas, action, and access - all included with a free Expo Pass.

At the heart of the exhibition floor, the Hub Sessions Programme brings together inspiring leaders, industry experts, and hands-on practitioners to share how the energy transition is being delivered today - and where it’s headed next.

From practical case studies to innovative technologies, from policy insights to project outcomes, the Hub Sessions offer cross-sector knowledge that’s relevant, actionable, and rooted in real-world experience.

Come curious, leave empowered.

2026 Sneak Peek

Despite the enormous uncertainty the world is facing due to geopolitical instability, and uncertainty being the enemy of progress, it’s vital that Europe’s energy sector and its industry partners continue their work to meet the EU’s net-zero target.

The 2026 Hub Sessions programme will demonstrate these efforts by showcasing the latest technology advances, real-world projects, and innovative case studies in the areas below.

⚡️ Digitalisation (Data & Protection and Tech, Innovation & Connectivity)
