Aggreko, global leader in mobile and modular energy solutions, announced a new partnership with Host City, a magazine and conference organizers for cities, rights holders, organizers, venues and suppliers of major international events.

As part of the new partnership, Aggreko will become the headline sponsor of the flagship Host City 2021 Conference, as well as Official Sustainability Partner of the Host City Americas Conference. This announcement is the latest in a long and successful partnership between the two organizations, with Aggreko having supported Host City since it moved to Glasgow in 2015.

In addition to the partnership, David De Behr, head of sales - Aggreko Event Services, has been appointed as advisory board member for Host City. David has worked within the events team at Aggreko for more than 20 years, delivering innovative energy solutions for some of the biggest events in the world, including the Olympics and Glastonbury Festival. De Behr’s role as an advisory board member will focus on helping Host City to develop its sustainability efforts.

“As the energy transition gathers pace, the global events sector continues to take the changing landscape in its stride, with events organizers continually adapting the way they operate to reduce their carbon footprint,” said De Behr. “As a key player in events, we’re proud to be supporting Host City in its efforts to achieve its sustainability targets. As an Advisory Board Member, I look forward to working closely with the Host City team. This partnership brings our two organisations even closer together after many years of successful collaboration and demonstrates our collective commitment to leading carbon reduction efforts in event energy solutions.”

Ben Avison, editorial and conference director at Host City said: “The topic of how to stage sustainable events gets more prominent every year at Host City and we are pleased to provide a platform for Aggreko to share its leadership in the urgent field of carbon reduction. We look forward to shaping the agenda with David’s expert input, and to welcoming him to the stage alongside other world class speakers in Glasgow and the Americas.”
