April 12, 2013 • CEEA’s First Annual Conference
Exploring Best Practices for Achievable Energy Efficiency Ideas

 

Who’s attending?

Expect to find key government officials, and the NGO and business leaders who work regularly on energy efficiency and conservation issues.

Our Goals

  • Develop a White Paper
    We’re building a collaborative platform to discuss national and global best practices. This will help us develop a white paper on the most effective and realistic ideas in Canada to fuel conservation, and expand energy efficiency programs.

  • Release National Survey Results
    CEEA’s first annual survey explores Canadian attitudes towards conservation, and the personal measures they’re willing to implement.

Why Attend?

The Thought Leaders Forum gives you, and your organization, the opportunity to shape the direction of energy efficiency advocacy in Canada. Help us keep it at the forefront of issues facing governments and businesses.
