2025 New Energy Symposium

The 2025 Symposium will provide key updates on the diverse range of New Energy opportunities in the Hunter region and showcase the significant projects, investments and initiatives that are underway and in development.

This was a sell out event in 2023 and 2024, so we encourage anyone who would like to be involved to secure their spot today. We also have a range of sponsorship and exhibition opportunities available for those looking to showcase their organisations at the Symposium.
