Introduction

The LMF will take place just before the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament. The new government will face increasing demands to reduce CO₂ emissions, improve energy efficiency, expand renewable energy sources, and modernize energy infrastructure. In this context, energy-related topics – including price trends, consumer protection, gas supply security, and the declining competitiveness of industry – are expected to be key elements of all political parties’ election campaigns. To keep the discussion as professional as possible, we have decided not to associate this year’s event with any political candidates. Instead, we will invite only guests with proven experience in the energy sector or those in a position to influence developments in this field.

 

TOPIC

 

The maximum number of participants of the meeting in the hall in Ostrava will be 90 people. Throughout the meeting, 32 speakers, who form the so-called permanent panel, will be actively engaged in the discussions. Two speakers will be selected to open each session with a presentation for which they will have 10 minutes to present a maximum of 10 slides on the basic content of the topic which will then be discussed.

 

SCHEDULE

 

 

CONFERENCE MODERATORS
