History of the Summer Study

The Summer Study program is an international institution, running for 30 years in the US and 16 years in Europe, organised by endorsers and supporters of our event – the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) and its European counterpart ECEEE. These are sell-out events (attracting 1000+ delegates) renowned for bringing together leaders in energy efficiency from government, academia, private sector and NGOs

Why host a Summer Study in Australia?

With the introduction of the Federal government's 'Clean Energy Future' package, there has never been a more significant time to convene an international forum on energy efficiency in Australia. Combined with sharp increases in electricity prices, energy efficiency and demand management will be a major contributor to reducing costs and emissions. The Summer Study will play a critical role in bringing together decision makers at a time of great change in an informal and non-confrontational atmosphere to find new solutions.

How is the Summer Study different to other events?

The program balances formal presentations by international experts with informal working sessions while allowing ample time for networking and collaboration. The relaxed, live-in format allows for in-depth discussions to develop across the event. Set on the shores of Manly Beach, the Summer Study captures the informal mood of the season, making the event a leisurely working opportunity. Proven to be a great environment for cross-fertilising ideas and making lasting connections, Summer Study delegates return year after year.

Who will attend the Summer Study?

Promoted throughout Australia and internationally through our endorsing organisations, the Summer Study will attract over 200 leaders from across the energy industry including:

• End users from all sectors
• Academics
• Energy suppliers
• Service providers
• Government officials

Having this broad audience of senior people together for an extended period is highly conducive to building networks, doing business and making change.
