Text on black background promoting the Net Zero Nations Projects Conference 2026, held on October 6, 2026 at One Great George Street, Westminster, celebrating its 4th anniversary.

Overview

The Net Zero Nations Projects Conference is delivered as a single-stream, strategy-led programme — meaning every delegate stays in the same room throughout the entire day.

  • No competing breakout tracks.

  • No diluted audiences.

  • No missed content.

The programme is structured to support real-world project delivery across the UK’s public estates, infrastructure and net-zero systems, bringing together:

  • Public-sector project owners and decision-makers

  • Private-sector organisations with proven technologies and solutions

  • Procurement experts

  • Policy and infrastructure leaders

Senior UK Government officials will be invited to deliver keynote updates.

This ensures all ministerial content is fully aligned with the latest national priorities.

Programme at a Glance

All networking takes place in the “Networking Zone” during major breaks, allowing delegates and partners to discuss live and upcoming projects.
