The Hydrogen Conference offers a rare opportunity to learn from the organisations at the leading edges of the development of the Hydrogen technology and fuel sector – their research, projects, products, services and routes for investment.
Supported by Hydrogen England, ERA, HyDEX and media partner Engineering Hydrogen Solutions, The Hydrogen Conference takes place for the first time on September 16, 2025 at Conference Aston, University of Aston campus, Birmingham B4 7ET. It’s an all-day get-together spread across five fascinating sessions, moderated by Dr Michaela Kendall, CEO of Adelan and UK Hydrogen Champion at Mission Innovation (UK Government).
There will be a lively introduction from the Moderator followed by a keynote view from Hydrogen Europe. The five sessions that follow will include 20 highly regarded and expert figures from industry and academia, with further input from consultants and investment advisors.
Session 1
The Hydrogen World – Part 1 – Projects and Partnerships

Session 5 (panel discussion)
Green Growth: UK Hydrogen Technology Venture Builders
Panel discussion led by Dr Michaela Kendall, with expert contributors joining her to enjoy a lively discussion.
It's a conference that shouldn’t be missed, taking place in September and set against the backdrop of the UK Government’s recently announced Industrial Strategy and the forthcoming next Hydrogen Allocation Round.
Running a conferences is not inexpensive, so to cover costs the organisers have set a modest, sensible delegate fee structure:
Conference delegate (including Hydrogen Awards lunch): £150.00 + VAT
Academic delegate (including Hydrogen Awards lunch): £100.00 + VAT
Student delegate (only 20 places available): £ 50.00 + VAT
Delegates are now starting to book so it’s well worth booking early to be sure of a place.
There are sponsorship opportunities available for The Hydrogen Conference and the Hydrogen Awards. Further details can be obtained from Ian Ferguson, commercial director (sponsorships).
Overseeing all aspects of the Conference is Helen Warrilow, commercial director (events).
During the Conference, delegates will feel they are in a roomful of colleagues and friends, ready to question, challenge and discuss the leading-edge issues with the speakers and the panel members. Following the conference, delegates will be able to access presentations from the speakers, the delegate list and a summary of the important issues discussed. This should give them everything they need to raise to the next level their knowledge of the Hydrogen sector and the opportunities it presents.
