Corporate Energy Management 2026

6th May 2026 Hotel InterContinental Budapest
Conscious energy management is no longer just an option, but an obligation. Whether a company is small, medium or large, its electricity and gas procurement remains a cornerstone of its competitiveness - but it is far from the only one. Those who do not develop a well thought-out energy strategy will inevitably be at a disadvantage. But the how is more complex than ever: energy is one of the fastest-changing areas, where business practices have to be rethought almost year on year. Corporate energy management has become a strategic issue. It is not just about how to reduce costs, but also about how to build a more sustainable, resilient and commercially successful company. It will determine who gets ahead - and who gets left behind - in the years ahead. That's why our conference will address these issues in a comprehensive way: building on past successes, but also responding to new challenges and needs.

18th March 2026 Hotel InterContinental Budapest
The AI revolution is not yet over, it is just getting started: the first enterprise GenAI solutions and tools to support work and internal processes are ready and performing in real life. Almost everyone has done the obligatory homework, but the work and the real AI transformation is just beginning. Beyond the still-isolated AI solutions that have emerged from the Proof of Concept phase, the brave pioneers can now move to a new level: once AI is proven, it is time to extend and educate well-performing AI solutions to the entire organisation, there will be where the transformation of the core business, the complete transformation of the core business, can take place. We will spend a full conference day looking at what changes AI will bring to business. Instead of side-talk, we'll showcase business strategies, real-world solutions, AI adoption methods and use cases in workshops, technology deep dive sessions, expert presentations and panel discussions.
