The pathway to elementalLONDON began pre-COVID with the launch of the elemental brand and plans for an in-person event in November 2020. In light of the measures put in place during the pandemic, the decision was taken to pivot to a digital platform with virtual events at its heart.
elemental’s digital offering has thrived, offering its community a tailored mix of valuable written content and carefully curated webinar sessions. The return of in-person events has seen the brand deliver a far-reaching live content programme year-on-year at InstallerSHOW in Birmingham. This move has not only reinforced the brand’s standing as a vital resource for its audience, but also confirmed that the time is right to reimagine that original vision, and to bring elemental to life in the capital in 2025.
Why London?
London remains not only a global draw, but also a natural meeting place for those within the UK. With a population approaching nine million, it is also a focal point for the nation’s drive to improve efficiency and decarbonise buildings.
The proximity of elementalLONDON at ExCeL to central government makes it the ideal location to bring together the industry’s great and good, to connect and identify a meaningful direction of travel.
