Ticketed event only – tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets will not be available at the door.
FNConnect is coming to Central London for the first time on 2nd July 2026, bringing together SMEs, corporate leaders, and energy specialists for an engaging evening to discuss one of the major topics facing all sectors today: energy resilience. This event will explore energy resilience, including the benefits of building energy systems which can withstand disruption, adapt to change, whilst continuing to provide reliable and sustainable energy.
As geopolitical uncertainty and climate change continue to reshape the world around us, the importance of fuel security and energy resilience has never been more critical. Through discussions, panels and networking, this event will explore practical approaches to energy resilience, such as the role of nuclear, renewables and sustainable fuels, resilient grids, improved demand management, and effective preparedness and response planning.
While this event has an energy resilience focus, its themes are relevant beyond the energy sector, spanning infrastructure, public services and business continuity. We welcome anyone, including all SMEs, who are curious about how energy connects to the wider social, economic and climate challenges across all sectors.
Topics of interest:
- Threats and vulnerabilities facing energy systems and supply chains
- Environmental, political and social drivers for energy resilience
- Technologies and system approaches that support energy resilience
- Clean, secure & affordable energy and the Net Zero transition
- Policy, regulatory, and governance frameworks for energy resilience
- Flexible grids and energy networks
- Improving energy efficiency and demand management
