EnergyFest: Empowering the Future

EnergyFest brings together the key players and drivers of the renewable energy industry in a series of gatherings, with a festival vibe, to introduce, discuss, champion and exhibit the future of energy in Australia and globally. With a Flagship Festival held in an Australian capital city annually, and three annual ‘NEXTGen’ events held at various Australian universities, EnergyFest seeks to bring together those driving the energy industry now, with those responsible for shaping and leading it into the future.

Rather than the traditional conference, which is bound by excessive structure and norms, EnergyFest, like any pioneering venture, such as renewable energy, seeks to bring a level of irreverence and challenging the status quo by highlighting new ideas, technology and means of shaping the future. The focus is very much on interaction and avoiding lecturing to audiences, with panels, social interaction and the ‘experience’ of coming together to progress a movement, rather than a simple intellectual pursuit or business networking.

Why EnergyFest

EnergyFest is the brainchild of Andy Evans, an Australian who has been in the energy industry for over twenty years and played a pioneering role in introducing new industries including onshore and offshore wind, and is currently actively progressing the decarbonisation of the logistics and maritime industries using renewable energy and electrification. Andy is also the executive producer, creator and host of documentaries which highlight our relationship with planetary forces and how we can use them to power our world, including Planet Wind and Planet Sun (to be released at the Melbourne Flagship Festival in October 2025).

Andy is passionate not only about creating a clean energy future for Australia and the world, but creating opportunities for industry to grow and thrive and provide economic and social prosperity for those looking to work in, or enter, the renewable energy industry, an industry that will continue to help shape our future. Hence, EnergyFest was born!

For the Visionaries

EnergyFest is your opportunity to be at the forefront of the energy transition. For industry leaders, investors, and policymakers, this is your chance to connect with the next generation of renewable energy pioneers and advocates, discover cutting-edge solutions, and make strategic decisions that will drive sustainable growth. Together, we can power a cleaner, greener future.

For the Changemakers

EnergyFest is where the next wave of leaders are born. For young advocates, students, and enthusiasts, this is your space to learn, collaborate, and amplify your voice. Rub shoulders and engage with those passionate about our energy future to further fuel your own passion and equip you with the knowledge to make a real impact on the world.

For Everyone

Energy impacts all of our lives, and is not isolated to one age, area or country, so everyone should have a voice and a forum to be circulate ideas, learn and be more informed on such a key component of how we progress our future. It truly impacts everyone globally, and will continue to, so learn for yourself how you can have a positive impact and make informed decisions on something that will shape our planet and future generations.
