The Eco Heat Tech Workshop, presented by Infrared Heating Supplies, is an interactive regional masterclass dedicated to the future of energy-efficient space heating. Hosted directly at the company's Bolton technical showroom at Hartford House, this half-day educational event brings together property developers, electrical contractors, facilities managers, and forward-thinking homeowners. As the UK shifts toward Net Zero targets and transitions away from traditional fossil fuel heating systems, far infrared technology stands out as a clean, cost-effective alternative. This workshop provides attendees with clear technical insights, practical application guidelines, and direct exposure to modern electric radiant heating solutions. Understanding Far Infrared Radiant Heat Technology A primary focus of the workshop is exploring how far infrared heating operates differently from conventional convection radiators. Rather than wasting energy heating body air volumes that quickly escape, infrared systems emit radiant heat that directly warms people, walls, floors, and solid objects. Technical specialists from Infrared Heating Supplies will explain the physics behind far infrared waves, highlighting how direct surface warming creates comfortable indoor climates while mitigating damp and condensation. Delegates will examine energy efficiency metrics and learn how properly specified systems can lower operational energy usage by up to 60% compared to traditional electric convection systems. Live Demonstrations and Interactive Smart Controls Throughout the day, participants will experience live working setups of mirror heaters, ceiling-mounted framed panels, high-output bar heaters, and freestanding portable units. Interactive demonstrations will highlight how smart Wi-Fi thermostats, app-based scheduling, and multi-zone climate control systems maximize overall system efficiency. Workshop sessions will guide delegates through using modern calculation tools to accurately size heating demand based on room dimensions, ceiling heights, insulation values, and usage profiles—ensuring spaces are neither underheated nor wastefully oversized. Diverse Sector Applications: Residential, Heritage, and Commercial The workshop covers tailored application strategies across residential refurbishments, commercial offices, public buildings, and historic spaces. Real-world case studies will highlight how non-invasive infrared bar heaters protect architectural heritage in listed buildings and churches without requiring intrusive pipework or extensive structural modifications. Commercial facility directors will discover how zone-focused heating helps lower running costs in large open spaces, high-ceiling warehouses, and intermittently occupied community centers by warming only active zones rather than vast empty airspaces. Expert Advisory and Networking Opportunities Held in an engaging showroom environment, the workshop offers an ideal platform for professional networking and technical exchange. Attendees can connect directly with experienced heating engineers, discuss active floor plans, and evaluate bespoke heating options for upcoming construction or retrofit projects. The technical team will offer personalized, one-on-one layout reviews, giving every delegate a clear roadmap for integrating infrared technology into their properties efficiently. Workshop Schedule and Visitor Registration The event takes place on Thursday, 15th October 2026, running from 10:00 AM to 03:00 PM. Attendance is free of charge, with complimentary tea, coffee, and lunch provided for pre-registered delegates. Located centrally in Bolton on Weston Street with free on-site parking, the venue is accessible from across Greater Manchester and Lancashire. Register online today via the Infrared Heating Supplies portal to secure your seat and explore next-generation clean heating technology.

We will explore the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence in contract lifecycle management, offering practical demonstrations of tools that are currently reducing administrative burdens for legal teams. The afternoon sessions shift toward the regulatory horizon, covering the latest in UK and EU data protection alignment, employment law changes following the 2025 reforms, and the growing importance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting. A highlight of the conference is the "Leadership for Lawyers" track, which addresses the soft skills required to influence board-level decisions and manage cross-departmental projects. This event provides a rare opportunity for in-house counsel to step away from their desks and share challenges and solutions with peers who understand the unique pressures of working within a non-legal business environment. Attendees will leave with a renewed perspective on how to deliver value to their organizations while staying legally robust.

The International Conference on Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development (ICRESD) takes a holistic view of the energy transition. Recognizing that technology alone cannot solve the climate crisis, this event focuses on the intersection of renewable energy, socio-economic policy, and urban planning. It is a critical forum for those interested in the "Just Transition"—ensuring that the move away from fossil fuels benefits all sectors of society and creates sustainable economic growth. The 2026 Glasgow event features a diverse array of sessions, ranging from the financing of energy projects in developing nations to the role of community-owned wind farms in rural Scotland. A significant portion of the programme is dedicated to "Smart Cities," examining how renewable energy can be integrated into urban grids to power public transport and affordable housing. Experts in international law and environmental policy will lead discussions on the global regulatory frameworks required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. ICRESD is known for its interdisciplinary approach. It brings together engineers with social scientists, and urban planners with investment bankers.

Valuation is both an art and a science, and the International Conference on Valuation Techniques in Accounting and Finance (ICVTAF) is designed to master both. As markets become more volatile and intangible assets like intellectual property and brand equity become central to company value, the traditional methods of valuation are being challenged. This conference in Glasgow brings together valuation experts, investment bankers, and senior accountants to explore advanced methodologies for assessing business worth in the digital age. The program covers a wide range of critical topics, from Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) modeling under high-inflation scenarios to the valuation of tech startups with no history of earnings. For ACCA members involved in M&A, auditing, or corporate finance, this event provides the technical rigor needed to defend valuation conclusions to stakeholders and regulators. Special emphasis will be placed on the International Valuation Standards (IVS) and how they align with IFRS requirements. In addition to technical modeling, the conference addresses the psychological aspects of valuation, including behavioral finance biases that can lead to overvaluation or market bubbles. Attendees will participate in case study workshops where they must value real-world companies using live data, receiving feedback from a panel of experts. This hands-on approach ensures that the knowledge gained is immediately applicable to the workplace. Whether you are looking to refine your spreadsheet modeling skills or understand the high-level theory behind market multiples, this conference offers a comprehensive curriculum tailored for the modern finance leader.

The Business of Housing 2026, organized by the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) and supported by SFHA stakeholders, is a crucial one-day event for the commercial and operational arms of the housing sector.
