ADDING VALUE: RESOURCES & NETWORK CONTINUITY
Key to Forum operations is providing value for time for the network, a key factor for our level of executive participants. Seminars are intense half-day sessions, with the speakers’ commentaries all transcribed and published to the private network and wider political constituency in an extensive Proceedings booklet which provides leading market and policy intelligence.
All Forum seminars aim to:
1. Analyse the strategic energy risk contexts affecting policy and infrastructure delivery
2. Highlight forthcoming barriers, opportunities and trade-offs for policymakers, corporations and investors
3. Evaluate which deliverability criteria are fundamental to the market
Additional resources related to each seminar, including the powerpoint presentations, are held in an access-only area of the Forum website, and to which participants may upload their own resources or commentaries as part of a resource exchange.
Taken together the seminar and publication programmes provide the network with strong continuity and a set of unique perspective on topical issues throughout the year. Furthermore, because membership and / or participation is allocated on an organisational basis, over the course of a seminar series a wide variety of senior executives from the same firm will attend. The Forum network is thus broad and deep.

What The Forum Does
WEF coordinates the UK’s foremost seminar programme addressing the design, development and delivery of UK energy policy.
Uniquely, it integrates the entire value chain of public and private sector bodies, together with NGOs and diplomats, in determining whether policy is deliverable by the market.
The Forum’s outputs are used as regular benchmarks by the sector, and are used to inform policymakers of emerging risks to delivery.
