One of Australia’s top hydrogen conferences, the Australian Hydrogen Conference (West), is set to address the future of Australia’s hydrogen industry in Western Australia this year, Business Events Perth has announced.
Bringing together the hydrogen sector’s most eminent energy leaders to explore the latest emerging projects, challenges and opportunities to shape the future of this rapidly expanding industry, the Australian Hydrogen Conference (West) will see 440 delegates visit Perth for the two-day event in November 2022.
The conference is expected to directly generate upwards of $560,000 for the West Australian economy, boosting local jobs and supporting the recovery of the business events industry. The Australian Hydrogen Conference is known for featuring high-profile keynote speakers, with the Hon. Angus Taylor MP, Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction, and former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull AC joining Minister MacTiernan to present at the 2021 conference in Sydney.
Run by Sydney-based events company Informa, the Australian Hydrogen Conference (West) is complemented by its east coast counterpart, which will next be hosted in Adelaide.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism the Hon. Roger Cook MLA said that he looked forward to welcoming delegates attending the Australian Hydrogen Conference (West) to Perth in 2022.
“Western Australia’s tourism industry is of key importance to the WA State Government, and we are actively supporting the ongoing recovery of the sector through our $185 million Reconnect WA funding package, which included $15 million to attract lucrative business events to WA such as the Australian Hydrogen Conference (West),” Minister Cook said.
“Hosting the Australian Hydrogen Conference in Western Australia presents a valuable opportunity to promote our world leading expertise, WA’s diverse economy and acts as a front door for investment, trade and talent attraction.”
Business Events Perth Chief Executive Officer Gareth Martin said that Western Australia’s growing strengths in the hydrogen sector were significant and contributed to the State being chosen as the destination for the 2022 event.
