Breath easier at AQE 2024
AQE 2024, or Air Quality and Emissions Expo, made a significant impact from 9-10 October at the NEC in Birmingham. Boasting the largest exhibitor turnout and the most comprehensive conference programme since 2002, AQE 2024 was not just another industry event – it was the place where the future of air quality and emissions monitoring will be shaped.
The show was an unmissable gathering for professionals, researchers, and policymakers deeply invested in the fight against air pollution and climate change.
The detrimental effects of air pollution on public health and the climate have never been more evident – or urgent. From the thick smog that shrouds cities to the invisible yet insidious greenhouse gases warming our planet, the call for action is growing louder. Governments, scientists, and environmental activists are increasingly turning their focus to air quality measurement and emissions control, making events like AQE more critical than ever.
Technology has advanced rapidly, offering new insights into pollution patterns and ways to mitigate its impact. AQE 2024 served as a knowledge hub where attendees could explore the latest technologies, regulatory updates, standards, and innovative methods designed to combat air pollution and promote sustainability.
With over 200 leading technology and service providers under one roof, AQE 2024 was an unparalleled opportunity to dive deep into the latest advancements in air quality and emissions management. The event attracted a diverse range of attendees, including regulators, local authorities, consultants, instrumentation engineers, laboratory staff, process operators, and engine and powertrain developers, along with clean air campaigners and other stakeholders.
The exhibition at AQE 2024 showcased cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of what’s possible in environmental monitoring. Low-cost sensors and mobile technologies are revolutionising how we track air quality in real-time, offering new ways to gather data and make informed decisions. The use of cellular networks to create expansive, interconnected monitoring systems is a gamechanger, allowing for the rapid deployment of sensors across cities and regions.
Visitors had the chance to engage directly with the minds behind these innovations, offering a unique opportunity to discuss challenges and solutions face-to-face. This interaction is invaluable for professionals seeking to stay ahead of the curve in an industry that evolves at breakneck speed.
AQE Expo returns next year to Birmingham’s NEC from 17-18 September 2025. This is our pick of the best exhibitors from this year’s show, listed here in alphabetical order: EEMC Monitors. Further details can be found on this page.
