2018 Asia Pacific Energy Leaders” Summit - More speakers confirmed...don't miss out!

This year's Summit is a must attend event for those who want to be better equipped to understand and deal with change, especially the key linkage between climate change and the opportunities directly in front of us to support the transition to decarbonise economies in a cost efficient way.

As someone with a strong interest in energy you know that dramatic and rapid change is enabling new and bold environmental and market outcomes. Global and local energy markets are in a state of transition. But what will the future energy system look like and how can you be a part of it?

This biennial Summit builds on our successful 2016 event by moving beyond the identification of risks and challenges the sector faces to owning, understanding and acting on them.

Delegates will leave the Summit with a whole new skill set to deal with the 3Ds – decentralisation, digitalisation and decarbonisation.

More speakers confirmed! Don’t miss out these outstanding experts:

Hon James Shaw

Minister for Climate Change – New Zealand

"Together – around the world and here in New Zealand – we have agreed to climate change action. It’s time now to act on climate change. There are plenty of opportunities directly in front of us to support the transition to decarbonise economies in a cost efficient way. The Asia Pacific Energy Leaders’ Summit will take us on our transition journey and I’m looking forward to hearing leaders from around the world and sharing my insights from a New Zealand perspective. I’ll see you there."

Annabel Wilton

Bloomberg NEF's specialist in decentralised energy – Sydney, Australia

Boundaries between finance, energy, transport and industry are increasingly blurred. Annabel Wilton will share global trends in decentralisation and how utilities and power markets are responding. She will provide the context and drivers for transformational change.

Charles Tsai Chao Chung

CEO & Executive Director, Power Assets Holdings Limited – Hong Kong, China

"The growth of decentralised and flexible energy leads to utilities having to re-evaluate their traditional business models and react to changing technology environments. Digital technologies can help transform the traditional electricity provider to a consumer-centric business model."

Kim d'Alquen

Energy & Utilities Business Development Lead, Amazon – Australia & New Zealand

Kim d’Alquen believes in democratising business creation, simplifying operation and driving innovation by providing a low cost, scalable and reliable infrastructure that can be acquired on-demand with a pay-as-you-go pricing model, and that is available to everyone.
