Australian Energy Week 2022 | Quest Events | 5 June 2022 | Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), 1 Convention Centre Pl, South Wharf VIC 3006, Australia

This event is the major annual conference and expo for the entire energy supply chain, bringing together generators, networks, retailers, end users and government to help shape the energy transition.

In 2022, this event is bringing back the exhibition and Electrical Engineering Forum so you’ve got more choice, and more networking opportunities.

It is the place to hear from industry leaders, make connections, and do business, with representatives from the whole energy value chain, from CEOs to analysts, energy traders to engineers. And everyone in between.

This is where the big discussions happen and the tough questions are answered. Join us to be part of the industry’s major annual event.
