Welcome to Iceland

The land of renewable energy, colossal glaciers, active volcanoes, steaming hot springs and the magical Northern Lights

Platform of forward thinking leaders

We seek to explore the frontiers of energy branding and bring together hands-on experience, best practices and cases along with academic insight with the aim of highlighting the untapped potential within the energy space by putting to use world-class branding practices. 

Dr. Lawrence Jones from EEI presenting at CHARGE 2019

Inspiring presentations & interactive workshops

At CHARGE, we create a unique space of dialogue and reflection on marketing, communications and branding for the energy sector through presentations by professionals from within and around the energy space. Each track has 4-5 short presentations based on experience, research and insights. You will then have the opportunity to put your takeaways to the task via interactive workshops moderated by experts in the topics covered.

What attendees say

Three overarching themes

Branding, Green and Innovation will be at the foreground at CHARGE 2020. Each track within the themes consists of short presentations followed by panel discussions.
The branding tracks will offer hands-on experience, in-depth knowledge and guided workshops to provide participants with valuable items for their professional toolboxes and inspiration to achieve higher brand value.
The green tracks will be a platform of discussion on all things green. New energy sources, electric vehicles, sustainable solutions and behavioural change. What is the difference between sustainable and green and does it make a difference in the customer’s mind? We will find out.
We have the smart home talking to us, cars driving for us and blockchain doing its part. But beyond the buzzwords are new emerging technologies and new innovative uses of current technologies. Find out how innovation will shape the energy brand.
