The Press and Journal Energy Ball
In light of the current coronavirus crisis, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Energy Ball due to take place in November this year.
This was not a decision we arrived at lightly and while the Energy Ball not only aims to recognise the hard work of the oil and gas industry but celebrate it too, we believe that cancelling the event will give the currently challenged energy sector time to deal with and bounce back from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Energy Ball is an important occasion for DC Thomson Media, reflecting and celebrating the diverse nature of the energy sector across Scotland and we are already planning our 2021 event. We’ll be in touch with further details early next year, in the meantime save the date for Saturday 27th November 2021.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to welcoming you next year.
