Energy, Water and Sustainability Summit to take place on 14 May
Industry News Energy, Water and Sustainability Summit to take place on 14 May By Formerly known as the Energy & Sustainability Summit, the summit will now include a deep focus on water management and strategies The Big Project Middle East (BPME) editorial team has announced that the 2025 Energy, Water & Sustainability Summit (EWS Summit) will take place on 14 May at the Habtoor Grand Resort, JBR, Dubai. The new name reflects the summit's expanded agenda, which now includes a significant water component, the BPME team explained. The summit's key themes include: sustainable water management strategies, a focus on the development, delivery and management of Net Positive buildings, converting construction waste and wastewater into usable resources, and reducing embodied carbon in construction through the use of alternative building materials. The day long event will convene speakers from government departments, utility companies, advisory organisations, as well as construction consultants, contractors, and suppliers. Registration is complementary but mandatory for industry professionals, click here to register. 'The Energy & Sustainability Summit has grown steadily since its introduction three years ago and for 2025, we've decided to expand its focus on an important topic that doesn't quite get the attention it deserves – water. In line with this, we've rebranded the event – the EWS Summit – to reflect the expanded agenda which will focus on a variety of key topics. I'm personally looking forward to a day full of fantastic insights and thought-provoking debates from our diverse line-up of speakers,' said Jason Saundalkar, Head of Content at Big Project Middle East. The event will comprise a mix of keynote speeches, fireside chats, panel discussions and presentations. 'The agenda we have in mind should make for a hugely interesting day; we will be sharing agenda updates and line-up of speakers in the coming weeks,' confirmed Saundalkar.
