2008 NAESCO's 25th Annual Conference

October 28-29, 2008
Fairmont Miramar Hotel, Santa Monica, CA

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS THAT CHANGED THE FACE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY: FROM A SOCIAL GOOD TO AN ECONOMIC IMPERATIVE

THE PAST IS THE PROLOGUE……WHY YOU NEED TO ATTEND THIS IMPORTANT CONFERENCE

The Energy Solutions Providers that comprise the NAESCO membership have transformed the landscape for energy efficiency over the last quarter century. Concepts like "negawatts," "an energy efficiency power plant," "energy efficiency as the first fuel in the loading order" were the province of a small band of hardy pioneers and not mainstream energy policies. The ESCO-model of delivery of energy efficiency resources and comprehensive demand reduction strategies has rocked the way customers, utilities, regulators, and other policy makers think about how to construct an energy portfolio for the 21st Century.

NAESCO, the industry association formed in 1983, celebrates the achievements of a robust industry now generating over $5 billion in annual energy efficiency investment. We recognize the power of a unified voice working on behalf of the industry and applaud the many robust companies that go out there every day to sell the energy consumption reduction and dollar savings generated by their products and services.

But we cannot rest on our laurels and this conference, while celebrating the past, looks to the future to evaluate the newest market opportunities, assess the constantly changing customer expectations, understand the ongoing challenges, and identify emerging ways to broaden and capture the expanding value stream generated by energy efficiency resources.
