Sponsored by: 06 — December The month at a glance The stories, topics and trends making headlines in recent weeks Clarion Energy rebrands to Enlit Clarion has unveiled Enlit, the new name for European Utility Week and POWERGEN Europe. The event hosts 18,000 industry leaders at Paris Expo Porte de Varsailles. The decision was taken because the lines between energy events and the journey from source to generation and grid to consumer are becoming blurred. Clarion enlisted the help of Larsen Energy Branding over the past six-months to create the world’s only complete energy event. The company explained that visitors to Enlit will be able to enjoy a new inspirational and immersive experience with content created and curated specifically for tomorrow’s new energy professionals; while Enlit exhibitors will have access to the people driving the future of the industry and the ability to reach a global audience under one brand. The news has been met by widespread industry support. Enel Foundation, the nonprofit research and education organization created by the Enel Group, which joined forces with Clarion as exclusive Global Knowledge Partner of the Power and Energy event series, welcomed the change. Clarion Energy executive VP & global MD Duncan Reid told visitors at POWERGEN “Enlit is a fantastic new brand for what is the most important and comprehensive event portfolio for the global energy industry. Over the next 12 months, we will roll out Enlit across three continents to unify seven brands including Power & Utilities Australia in Melbourne, Asian Utility Week in Jakarta and POWERGEN Europe in Milan.” CloserStill launches new healthcare conference and exhibition CloserStill, in partnership with The Royal College of Surgeons, will launch a new Future Surgery conference and exhibition.
