Every two years, leading experts in building energy efficiency reunite during the Central and Eastern European Energy Efficiency (C4E) Forum. The next edition of the C4E Forum will take place from 18 to 21 May 2027 in Maribor, Slovenia.
In its 6th edition, this unique event for discussing energy efficiency among specialists from different backgrounds will again take place in the mountains, after Poiana Brașov in Romania.
The forum brings together policymakers, experts, businesses and civil society working on energy efficiency in buildings across Central and Eastern Europe, to share what works and to grow a regional community.
