Eco Technology Show Offers Free Expert Sessions

The Eco Technology Show in Brighton is now just weeks away and, building on the success of last year’s event, promises a host of new features. One such innovation is the Advisory Hub, where visitors can book a 15-minute appointment with specialists across a wide range of eco related issues.

The Advisory Hub is aimed at supporting both consumer and trade visitors with the topics split across the two days of the event:

• Friday: Renewable Energies, The Green Deal, RHI & other incentives, New Build and Retrofit, Building Control, Design and Energy Assessment, Installers, Export, Business Growth, Financing, Fleet Management & Planning.

• Saturday: Self Build & Refurbishment, Renewable Energies & their incentives, Architecture, Installers, Technology (including smart controls), Project Management, Energy saving and the Green deal, Financing, Planning & Smarter Driving and retrofitting your property.

Advisors include representatives from DECC, UKTI, Business Support Kent, The Energy Saving Trust, RICS, Micropower Council, CIAT, Carbon Leapfrog and Brighton & Hove Local Planning Authority.

“As well as showcasing the best eco products and delivering a programme of top seminar speakers, we also want to give people the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with our experts at this year’s show,” says Eco Technology Show commercial director Nicola Gunstone. “This will give them the opportunity to ask questions, acquire further information or explore issues specific to their personal agendas and circumstances.”

Nicola continued: “People using our Advisory Hub could, for example, include homeowners looking for more information on the government’s Green Deal or traders wishing to clarify the latest applicable regulations and incentives. It is sure to be a hit with show visitors.”

To book an advisor hub slot visitors should go to the Advisory Hub in the Build, Energy, Office & Home Zone when they arrive. Sessions for each day will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

The Eco Technology Show will feature over 100 exhibitors forming three exciting exploration zones encompassing: Eco Build, Renewable Energy, Office, and Home, Transport and Technology and Innovation.

The Eco Technology Show opens from 9am-5pm on Friday and from 10am-5pm on Saturday 15 June. Tickets are £5 and children under 16/trade visitors get in free. Visit www.ecotechnologyshow.co.uk for further information.
