Join us in Denmark for two impactful days of learning, exchange, and action – right in the heart of the world’s leading district heating nation.
Taking place alongside the Danish District Heating Association’s Annual Meeting, the summit brings together 2,400 participants.
Gathering industry leaders, utilities, experts and innovators to explore how to deliver scalable, secure, and affordable heating – at a time when energy systems are facing increased pressure and growing demands.
This is more than a summit! It’s your chance to experience how Denmark is putting sustainable, secure, and scalable heating systems into practice.
What to expect
- High-level summit with keynotes, expert panels, and case studies
- Exclusive site visits to Denmark’s most advanced district heating systems
- Interactive Q&A sessions and off-stage dialogue with peers
- Large exhibition area featuring
- Danish solutions and breakthrough technologies
