World Energy Engineering Congress, WEEC, to discuss the Future Energy Economy at Nation’s Largest Energy Efficiency Conference in Washington, DC

As the U.S. Presidential election moves forward, energy and facility managers will need to address future energy challenges as impacted by the winning party’s energy policy. Making the 2016 World Energy Engineering Congress (WEEC), the energy conference and technology expo specifically for business, industrial and institutional energy users timely and critical.

Key leaders in the professional energy management field will discuss energy resiliency and security, international efficiency projects, the growing importance of water, wastewater treatment, renewable energy and leveraging data analytics. WEEC, presented by the Association of Energy Engineering (AEE) will be held in Washington, DC on Sept. 21-23, 2016 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

Featured keynote opening session speakers include David Gregory, Political Analyst, CNN discussing the race to the white house and its impact on energy policy, J.B. Straubel, Chief Technology Officer, Tesla speaking on energy and technology megatrends, and John Hofmeister, Former President, Shell Oil Company discussing the future of affordable energy.

The WEEC conference contains session topics including industrial energy management, green and high performance buildings, sustainable development, emerging energy trends, as well as big data and IoT. “As always, our conference is staying true to the AEE and WEEC mission”, said Al Thumann, Executive Director, AEE, “– to share and educate about fast-moving developments in the energy field, to provide a look at and discuss promising new technologies, compare energy supply options, and find out about the latest cost-conscious project implementation strategies. When energy management professionals leave WEEC it’s almost certain it’s with new knowledge and contacts that are not only very valuable, but would have been difficult to pick up elsewhere.”

In addition to the conference program, WEEC will also feature a comprehensive exhibition, special events at WEEC include a Council for Women in Energy & Environmental Leadership (CWEEL) networking breakfast that focuses on developing a prominent voice for women in the energy industry, an International Awards that recognizes individuals and companies that have demonstrated notable contributions to the energy profession, and the Legends in Energy event, a networking dinner for international delegates.
