The 19th Annual Energy Efficiency Forum,
sponsored by the United States Energy Association and Johnson Controls Inc., is
scheduled for June 10-11, 2008, in Washington, DC. The program theme,
"What’s Happening Now and What’s Next," is designed to provoke
interesting discussions on how the public and private sectors can initiate
large-scale energy-efficiency programs that will have immediate economic and
environmental impacts.
Activities begin Tuesday, June 10, at 11:30 a.m. Johnson Controls will
host a luncheon and World Café session at the JW Marriott Hotel, kicked-off
with a keynote from Charlie Cook, a nationally known
non-partisan political commentator and publisher of The Cook
Political Report.
The World Café Session that follows
features an innovative, collaborative approach to help explore challenges,
define solutions and move your organization along the path to sustainability.
To better match the interests and experiences of participants, the session will
be divided into two tracks: operational/technical and executive/non-technical.
Following this event will be a Congressional Reception scheduled for 5
p.m. at the Rayburn House Office Building. The Energy Efficiency Forum begins
at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday at the National Press Club.
