Harnessing the Energy

Harnessing the Energy is the WES Members' event, which will focus on the energy sector this year. It will take place at IMechE in London on Friday 4th October.

This event will be suitable for both members and non-members, and the content will be aimed at all technical professionals - not just those in the energy sector. It will give an overview of the important issues in this vital sector.

We are now looking for senior professionals within the Energy sector to speak about their work, and also young career energy professionals to speak for 8 minutes in the dedicated session which aims to give conference speaking experience to younger professionals.

Alongside the technical stream there will be a number of professional development seminars, including a STEM Ambassadors training session for any members who would like to volunteer to help with their local schools or colleges as a STEM ambassador. We recommend this training to all WES volunteers who would like to get involved with students.

For further details of the event and how you can get involved, please see the conference outline HERE.
