EWEA signs long-term events deal with Hamburg Messe

The European Wind Energy Association has signed a long-term agreement with Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH to host its annual conference in parallel with the WindEnergy Hamburg exhibition.

EWEA and HMC have agreed to host two more events in 2018 and 2020, in addition to the collaboration on WindEnergy Hamburg 2016 that will take place in September. EWEA will continue to host its annual and offshore events in the intervening years 2017 and 2019.

The agreement also includes an option to cooperate on a fourth event in 2022.

The combination of EWEA’s leading industry conference in conjunction with the world’s top wind energy expo will create a one-stop shop for businesses, policymakers and the scientific community. The conference and exhibition will showcase the very best of the industry, highlighting the successes and addressing the challenges facing wind power today.

Giles Dickson, Chief Executive Officer of the European Wind Energy Association, said: “We are delighted to have signed a long-term agreement with HMC. We are confident that this will provide certainty and long-term visibility to our sector on the location for future events. It will also ensure that Hamburg remains a capital for the global wind industry in the years to come.”

Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH, said: “The concentration/convergence of expertise here is unmatched anywhere in the world for the companies engaged internationally in the wind industry. It is highly attractive for both exhibitors and visitors, enabling them to attend the only global wind energy expo with its outstanding business opportunities and also the Conference with its coverage of the latest industry topics.”
