will take the occasion for a lively powwow

No wonder, then, that global market leaders in biomass, together with top manufacturers in the fields of thermal pumps, solar power, and photovoltaics will take the occasion for a lively powwow. Just the place for you to acquaint a knowledgeable audience eager to invest with your inventions.

meet for an exceptional cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas

longer:(will want to) meet for (what will surely be) an exceptional cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and experiences

or: meet for an exceptional industry-specific exchange of ideas and experiences

or:
to have/participate in/join in a most exhilarating meeting of great minds

or: get together for what will surely be a most exhilarating meeting of the great minds of the industry

or: ...will (want to) join in what will surely be an exceptional cross-disciplinary conference/forum for the clean energy industry

or: ...will (want to) meet for an exceptional industry-specific exchange of ideas and experiences



Trying to make it sound industry-specific but also exciting; the original "erbaulich" is quite a problem. It implies that the event will be of great interest and to everyone's great satisfaction/enjoyment. But it shouldn't sound too exciting, happy or thrilling (well maybe thrilling) to keep it professional.

http://alarconyharris.com/_prensa/exporecicla/exporecicla_pd...
All this will take place at what seems set to be the most innovative and professional event in its field.

see...gathered here to share their passion

"It's not surprising then to see global leaders in biomass production, top manufacturers of heat pumps, solar thermal energy products and photovoltaics all gathered here to share their passion."

"Erbauliches Stelldichein" is a set phrase or cliche. Our best bet is to find a set expression in English that conjures up similar imagery. That means a holistic translation is required and individual ingredients, e.g. 'erbaulich' are less important than the whole phrase. The German cliche should remain similarly vague and uplifting in the target language. There's no need to flesh it out with specifics that were not spelled out in the German.

Another option:
No surprise then to see X rubbing shoulders here with Y..

Compare with this:
"World-class experts and executives from the wind industry, including global wind farm developers, wind contractors, parts makers, financing experts and contract lawyers, are rubbing shoulders at a national conference in Cleveland this week and talking to locals hoping to build wind turbines in the lake." https://www.brown.senate.gov/newsroom/in-the-news/article/wi...
