On the evening of the 11th March ‘Ignight’ will take place from 6pm until 8pm. This is our informal evening networking event. The event will be held at The Sage Gateshead giving guests the full benefit of this impressive venue and the stunning views of Newcastle Quayside at night. There will be local music and regional food and a glass of wine on arrival.

This will be an excellent opportunity to network with exhibitors, speakers and visitors and relax at the end of the day.

We are delighted to announce that Ignight will be sponsored by Sustainable Heating Solutions:

Sustainable Heating Solutions is a 'Field to Radiator' business which has been set up by renewables entrepreneur Ian Brown to provide a one stop shop for biomass heating. As Ian has said to us on confirming his sponsorship " Those who understand biomass heating have had a frustrating decade but the fundamentals are in place for rapid growth; indeed the fact that we are even able to have a fantastic event such as Ignition09 speaks volumes for the potential of our new industry. I am setting up a business to advise on the whole supply chain from 'growing it' to 'burning it' and am glad to have a way of harnessing my 15 years of practical and academic knowledge.

I look forward to meeting you during the event and congratulate Rural Development Initiatives on making Ignition09 a reality".
