20th-21st May 2026, Norfolk Showground, Norwich
A very apt theme for our 2026 flagship conference and exhibition as we celebrate our 25th anniversary year – how far we’ve come since 2001!
The past 25 years has seen a number of amazing achievements for the energy sector in the East of England and we are pleased to have been at the forefront of the industry at that time to help guide, develop and contribute to the growth of the industry – from the building of the first offshore windfarm off our coast through to getting the green light for Sizewell C, we have much to be proud of.
Whilst that is cause for celebration itself, we now look ahead to the next 25 years to see what that may bring and hope it is just as exciting as the last 25.
The SNS conference and exhibition is a leading forum where industry, the supply chain, academia, and government connect with the whole of the energy sector supporting the East of England.
The East of England is well on its way to being an energy powerhouse for the UK and is on a path to becoming a world-leading clean energy producer – forecasted to produce nearly 90% of power for the UK by 2035.
This year’s conference will highlight upcoming developments and projects planned for the region. With the recently announced AR7 results it is an exciting time for offshore wind; the Bacton Energy Hub continues to gain momentum with CCS works already in progress; oil and gas is still a predominant feature in the energy mix, and we are seeing many new advances in onshore renewables.
Across two days, we bring together the key players in the industry for informative project updates, panel sessions, supply chain meetings, interactive workshops, and targeted networking.
The event attracts over 1,500 attendees and enables up to 80 exhibitors to showcase their services. Day one ends with a gala dinner with this year’s being that bit more special to celebrate our 25th anniversary year.

Feedback for SNS2025
Truly excellent event, a huge thank you and well done to you all!
The EEEGR team does a great job of organising this conference each year, and Perenco was pleased to participate.
Thank you for inviting me to provide a Project Update. I also found it a very positive event. It was Five Estuaries first foray into supply change discussions and we had some very useful and engaging conversations.
A huge thank you from me for a wonderful event and the opportunity to present Tarchon. We would love to be back next year to provide an update to everyone.
On behalf of Equinor: thank you for supporting us with the event – there was a real buzz in the exhibition hall and some really valuable discussions had, so many congratulations for another fantastic SNS!
Thank you to you and your team for organising such an amazing event! It was very slick, highly professional and a great showcase for the East of England – EEEGR has certainly come a long way in the last few years. I’d be happy to continue to be involved as much as I am able.
