The deadline for the call for the Energy Fair has now passed, and no further applications will be accepted.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) will be organised as a hybrid event on 20-22 June 2023. At the EUSEW Energy Fair, you can host an onsite stand to present your activities in a physical booth. There will be a website announcing the organisations present at the venue, but all interaction will happen onsite.
By holding a stand at the Fair, you will benefit from additional networking opportunities and improved outreach to the community and professionals working in the fields of energy efficiency and renewable energy. Successful applicants will be supported by the event and technical teams (i.e. for logistics, audiovisual services, training, etc.).
All stand holders are fully responsible for the content and promotion of their booth and must comply with the guidelines provided by the organising team of the European Sustainable Energy Week. A communication toolkit for promotion will be provided to all successful applicants that are hosting a stand at the Energy Fair.

We encourage you to bring your own material (roll-ups, posters, banners, etc.) to brand your stand.
