New to the 2025 program is the Energy + Circularity Summit on Day 2, delivered in partnership with Circular PV Alliance. 

RDA Orana CEO Justine Campbell said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to ensuring regional communities benefit from the clean energy transition."

Circular PV Alliance CEO Megan Jones said we want to see regions like the Orana thrive. The emerging circular economy presents exciting opportunities for areas experiencing rapid energy development."

The goal for the Summit is to gather insights from the day into a clear action plan, that RDA Orana and Circular PV Alliance will champion moving forward.
