Tuesday 18th May 2021
We are delighted, after what has been a very difficult year, to be able to announce the date of the 2021 UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell conference
This is an extremely exciting time for the industry with major announcements almost on a daily basis. Although some may say we have been waiting for this for some time I feel we can truly say that for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells
The Time really is NOW
The conference, now in it’s 17th year, will, as always, look at both the Hydrogen Economy and also the range of applications for Fuel Cells. Sessions will focus on the Production, Distribution and Use of Hydrogen, Transport Applications and Remote and Stationary Power .
The conference is guaranteed to be a key date in the UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell calendar. Due to the cancelled 2020 conference, all of the exhibition stands are already taken and over 200 delegates signed up. We are offering an increased opportunity to become involved and speak at the conference, through our extended sponsorship programme. There are opportunities for Main Sponsors (£3,000) with a speaking opportunity in the Keynote session or Conference Sponsor (£1,000) with a speaking opportunity in one of the workshops. Both opportunities include logo placement on the website, mailings and social media for the next 6 months, an excellent opportunity to profile your business at this important and established event. (No invoices will be processed until it is clear the conference will not be cancelled due to COVID)
The full programme will be announced in the coming months. Speakers already committed can be seen on the speakers tab. If you wish to be part of the programme there is an opportunity to become involved through our extended sponsorship programme.
