In less than a week, the Solar and Storage Live conference and exhibition will kick off, returning to Birmingham’s NEC Arena from 23-25 November.
Solar Media, Solar Power Portal’s publisher, sold the exhibition to international events company Terrapinn in 2018, but will be maintaining its presence at the solar and storage trade exhibition and be based at stand A21.
The editorial team will be onsite throughout the event, producing news stories, key interviews, daily recaps and audio content from the show floor. If you’re exhibiting or just visiting Solar & Storage Live and have a story worth telling, get in touch.
