LONDON — RX has positioned itself as a global leader in the growing hydrogen economy with its acquisition of Sustainable Energy Conferences Ltd. (SEC), owner and organizer of the World Hydrogen Summit (May 13-15, Rotterdam, Netherlands), Hydrogen Americas (June 11-12, Washington, DC), Asia-Pacific Hydrogen (September 12-13, Brisbane, Australia) and the Sustainable Energy Council brand.
These three exhibitions cover the entire value chain, including generation, transmission, distribution and storage, as well as end-use sectors such as heavy industry and transport. The World Hydrogen Summit 2024, which has just concluded in Rotterdam, is known as the flagship event for the sector. This year’s edition included the C-Level Summit, the world’s largest hydrogen exhibition, the Africa Hydrogen Forum, 2 x H2 Tech Series Stages, the World Hydrogen Awards and site visits to the Port of Rotterdam.
Kerry Prince, Managing Director of RX UK, said the three shows also complement and enhance RX’s broader offering in the energy sector. “The SEC portfolio is attractive and highly regarded, and RX is well placed to leverage its impact with these three new events. Exhibitors at RX’s All-Energy in the UK, All-Energy Australia, the World Future Energy Summit in the UAE and Smart Energy Week in Japan, among others, provide the technology and solutions used in or by the hydrogen sector.”

“Synergies continue on the demand side through our global industrial and transportation portfolios, at events such as Aluminium, Asia Pacific Maritime and Inter Airport, where stakeholders will increasingly purchase and use hydrogen to decarbonize their future operations.”
The SEC’s mission is to accelerate the transition to hydrogen energy and the development of a hydrogen economy. Its events bring together public and private sector stakeholders to collaborate and partner on hydrogen projects. “We are excited to add the SEC to our portfolio and look forward to working with the team to leverage these benefits while accelerating their mission toward a more sustainable world,” Prince said.
The SEC team consists of 21 permanent employees who will join RX. “Joining RX will allow us to grow these events by leveraging their technology platforms, global network and operational expertise,” said Tim Clark, SEC Founder. “I look forward to our teams sharing their expertise and commitment to evolving our brands and products.”
