CEP Conference 2025

The need to address climate change has never been greater. As we continue to head towards critical dates such as 2030 and 2050, it seems the actions we’ll need to take to curb warming are becoming more pronounced as well as more urgent.

Almost every day, we see examples of the impact of warming temperatures from around the world, whether it be rising sea levels, melting ice, droughts, floods or hurricanes. Of course, New Zealand is not immune, as we have seen.

Climate change remains a critical business risk. Whether it’s customer demands, the threat of carbon border adjustments or pressure from investors, reducing emissions is now a critical business issue and is pushing back through the supply chain.

With climate change now back at the top of corporate agendas, the CEP conference continues to grow in influence. It has become the primary event for practitioners and influencers to hone their knowledge and maintain their understanding of what’s out there to help them do their critical and ever more influential jobs better. We encourage attendance by keeping delegate fees low and, with our growing reputation, we are able to select only the best papers for inclusion. The influence of the event is now such that we have to decline over half the papers submitted. The result is a conference without peer, highly satisfied delegates in a learning atmosphere where people are open to new ideas, products and ways of doing things. Year on year we hear our conference is the best and the best value for delegates, sponsors and exhibitors. That is something we are striving to maintain in 2025.

2025 will see the Conference return to Auckland for the first time since 2018 and we’re looking forward to our biggest city furnishing a record attendance. We will be hosting the event at the Grand Millenium on 27th and 28th May.
