The upcoming conference, taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, will address the most pressing challenges and opportunities shaping decommissioning, demolition, and the repurposing of high-hazard industrial assets today. As industries face aging infrastructure, stricter environmental regulation, energy security concerns, and growing pressure to deliver sustainable outcomes, the event will provide a timely and practical forum for senior decision-makers.

The agenda will explore best-in-class approaches to site closure and transition, including advanced ground remediation techniques to enable safe reuse of land, and repowering strategies to mitigate energy shortfalls following asset shutdown and demolition. Discussions will also examine the wider socioeconomic impact of site repurposing, highlighting how well-planned projects can support community regeneration, workforce transition, and long-term regional growth.

A strong focus will be placed on hazardous waste management and regulatory compliance, addressing critical questions such as waste thresholds, treatment pathways, and risk mitigation in complex environments. Delegates will gain insight from real-world demolition and decommissioning case studies, alongside practical sessions on contract strategy, risk allocation, and the alignment of timelines between asset owners, operators, and contractors.

Further topics include groundwater and subsurface risk management, material recovery and high-value recycling from deconstruction, digital tools supporting planning and execution, and lessons learned from contractors operating at scale. Designed for asset owners, operators, EPCs, contractors, regulators, and solution providers, this conference offers a comprehensive, industry-led perspective on delivering safe, compliant, and future-ready industrial transformation.
