Emap acquires The Energy Event

Emap has announced the acquisition of The Energy Event and its related magazines from Eamonn Brennan and Neil Western of Western Business Media.

From 2011, The Energy Event will run alongside the Recycling and Waste Management Exhibition (RWM), the leading show for the sector in halls 17-20 at the NEC.

While the two shows will be marketed separately and each will retain their own identities and focus, the move of the Energy Event to the NEC next door to RWM will allow the event to benefit from the improved layout and facilities of purpose built exhibition halls as well as the relevant cross over audience from RWM.

Gerry Sherwood, RWM's Event Director, commented: "RWM and the Energy Event are a natural fit for co-location".

"There is a growing appetite for waste-to-energy conversion as way of dealing with two major issues at once - waste management and sustainable energy".

"By bringing the waste and sustainable energy sectors together in this way we can help satisfy that appetite".
