With just over five weeks until the IV International Roundtable on Technologies for Sustainability convenes at Maryculter House, Aberdeen on 21 October 2026, places are filling quickly.

This is not a conference. It is not a summit with parallel streams and keynotes disappearing into cavernous halls. This is a closed roundtable, deliberately small, deliberately focused, where the conversations that shape the energy transition actually happen.

Why This Matters Right Now

The energy transition has moved beyond rhetoric. Investment is flowing. Policy is crystallising. Supply chains are being rewired. Careers are being built. Yet the gap between ambition and execution remains vast. The Roundtable exists precisely at that gap, bringing together the people who understand it, live in it, and are working to close it.

The confirmed speaker line-up represents this commitment. Andrew Bowie MP brings the policy perspective. Myrtle Dawes OBE and Dr. Alan Lowdon OBE bring decades of innovation leadership. Matt Browell-Hook, Paul Hennessey and Ryan Menzies represent the commercial reality. Graeme Rafferty asks the unglamorous but critical question: how do supply chains keep pace? Prof. Ian Thomson brings the accountability lens, the question of how we measure what actually matters.

These are not people who speak about the energy transition from the sidelines. They work in it. They lead in it. And they will be in the same room for eight hours on 21 October.

A Rare Opportunity

Previous editions of the Roundtable, held at the Caledonian Club, the Royal Air Force Club and UNA-UK, have built a reputation for honest, cross-sector dialogue. This year, moving to Aberdeen and the North of Scotland adds a new dimension. A region with deep energy expertise, critical offshore capabilities, and a wealth of talent that is essential to the transition.

The conversations that will happen on 21 October will shape partnerships, inform strategy, and create connections that extend far beyond the day itself.

Five weeks is not long. The calibre of this year’s speaker programme, and the importance of being in the room, makes early registration essential.
