Lumo - Energy Reimagined Symposium

As the world gets warmer and the tech gets cooler, what role will energy play  in our sustainable future?

As Einstein said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

Join us at LUMO to explore new thinking at the edge. We're flipping the traditional conference model on its head - to give a platform to a diverse voice, across disciplines, hierarchies and cultures.

Conversation themes include humanity and energy, the solar debate, future skills, community ownership, democratisation, the new energy narrative, energy tomorrow and last but not least - breaking the system.


Unlike other conferences we'll be integrating arts and culture into the event to illuminate energy’s impact on everything we do. The day will include performances, debates, activities, and breakouts on boats.
