100 members strong: empowering energy consumers | Celebration

You are cordially invited to join us on 28 May, at 18.00 at the rooftop of La Bourse in Brussels, for a momentous occasion: to celebrate the significant milestone of becoming 100 members strong!

The rapid growth of the smartEn – Smart Energy Europe community reflects the dynamicity and equally rapid growth of the Flexible Demand Management Industry, a large variety of market players offering multiple and competitive business offers to all consumers willing to become active players in the clean energy transition.

From groundbreaking advancements, to undisputed high-level recognition and invaluable partnerships and synergies, we have come a long way. Now, it’s time to celebrate these milestones and the collaborative spirit that has propelled us forward.

With an expected attendance of 300 participants, this gala promises to be both memorable and impactful. Your presence is not just requested, but essential, as we come together to shape a sustainable energy future.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

 

 

About the event

To salute these achievements, we will unveil a revamped smartEn logo – a necessary refresh of our visual identity.

And as the event will take place during the very transition period between two EU legislatures, we will be joined by a top EU representative to reflect on the importance of consumer empowerment in the road towards climate neutrality.

By joining us you would also be privy to:

  • the premiere of a compelling demand-side flexibility video explainer
  • a momentous tribute to our member companies, partners, and stakeholders for their invaluable support
  • insightful addresses from the smartEn leadership
  • a unique chance to exchange with policymakers, industry leaders and visionaries

Set against the stunning backdrop of La Bourse’s rooftop in Brussels, the event promises an evening of celebration, inspiration, and networking.

Opening Speaker

We are thrilled to announce Commissioner Kadri Simson as our opening speaker!

Her presence at this momentous milestone for the Flexible Demand Management Industry is of utmost importance, when reflecting on the crucial EU regulatory framework already established. Together, we need to urge for rapid implementation of all EU provisions on consumer empowerment, to grasp the benefits for a cost-effective decarbonisation.

The venue

     

The enchanting La Bourse is an impressive structure steeped in history and recently renovated to become a vibrant hub for leisure and culture. Nestled in the bustling heart of Brussels, this architectural gem pays homage to the Belgian heritage while offering an immersive experience into the country’s rich past.

Originally conceived as the epicenter of financial markets, La Bourse now stands as a testament to the industrial glory of 19th-century Belgium. Its meticulous restoration showcases exquisite sculptures by the renowned Rodin, adding an aura of artistic elegance.

From the captivating depths of its cellars to the breathtaking vistas of its rooftop terrace, La Bourse invites you to explore its transformation, which was realised thanks to a substantial EU funding of 18 million euros. This is yet another proof of the commitment to preserving this emblematic cultural and architectural heritage of Belgium whilst fostering environmental preservation and sustainable economic growth.

Experience the allure of La Bourse firsthand with us, as we gather for an unforgettable event in this unparalleled setting.
