CEP Conference 2026

Our 26-27 May 2026 Conference enjoyed record attendance and presented an even broader and deeper programme than previous years. A few controversial topics (including nuclear power and the proposed LNG terminal) provoked much discussion, while delegates also enjoyed depth sessions on bioenergy, efficiency, electrification and local government. According to those who came, it was the best two days of learning and networking of the year.

CEP Conference 2022

2022 was the year we gave it some jandal on accelerating decarbonisation. Rotorua was the place and picking up the pace is the theme. 2022 saw New Zealand with high COVID vaccination rates, freedoms to move about, a real appetite to get back to business after the enormous disruption of the last couple of years and, most importantly, a priority focus on decarbonising.

CEP Conference 2024

The coolest place to be at the end of May 2024 will be the Christchurch Town Hall. That’s when the experts, influencers and decision makers that will commission, design and deliver the projects that will take us to our 2030 and 2050 targets will be gathering in one place at the same time. It’s the best opportunity of the year to come together, exchange ideas and learn from each other, all in a relaxed and cool environment.
