BEAMA and The Lighting Industry Association (The LIA) announce 2050 Connected Conference

BEAMA and The Lighting Industry Association (LIA) are proud to present the 2050 Connected Conference, a two-day event designed to drive action on net zero, circularity, and transformation in the built environment and energy supply chains.

Taking place on 1st and 2nd July 2025 at the Royal College of Physicians, London; this conference will bring together manufacturers, policymakers, and wider professionals to tackle supply chain decarbonisation and circularity challenges and foster collaboration for greater cross-sector alignment.

Taking place over two days each with its own specific focus, attendees will gain insights and actionable strategies from government and industry experts while connecting with key decision-makers to build strategic partnerships:

• Day 1: Manufacturers Connected Forum

A dedicated forum for manufacturers to gain technical insights, regulatory updates, and practical strategies to thrive in a Net Zero and circular economy.

• Day 2: Supply Chain Sustainability Forum

Bringing together the supply chain and market – including manufacturers, distributors, specifiers, contractors, energy companies, facility managers, architects and consulting engineers – to tackle supply chain decarbonisation and wider market transformation.

This event provides an opportunity for businesses to engage with government, industry leaders, and technical experts to increase their understanding of and accelerate the transition to a sustainable built environment and energy market.

The 2050 Connected Conference is more than just an event – it is a catalyst for action, offering a unique platform for manufacturers, government, and the wider supply chain to address shared challenges in achieving net zero and circularity.

“The BEAMA 2050 Connected Program is based on the philosophy of collaboration across the supply chain.  It represents an unparalleled program of work, driven by leading trade associations, bringing together the electrical products supply chain to galvanise action to meet Net Zero and circulatory.  No one manufacturer can decarbonise alone, it requires a whole supply chain to transform and innovate. This event represents a leading example of that collaboration, bringing together two key manufacturing sectors and our joint industries to work on how we progress to meet Net Zero by 2050 and achieve a circular economy,” said Yselkla Farmer, CEO of BEAMA.

“The transition to a net zero and circular economy requires more than just regulatory compliance – it demands a fundamental shift in how industries collaborate and innovate. The 2050 Connected Conference is a pivotal moment for lighting and the wider electrotechnical sector to engage in meaningful dialogue, aligning efforts across the supply chain to drive practical, scalable solutions. At The LIA, we recognise that lighting plays a crucial role in decarbonisation, from product design to end-of-life strategies, and this event will provide a unique opportunity to address these challenges collectively,” said Ayça Donaghy, CEO, The LIA.
