Our theme for this historic Summer Study on industrial energy efficiency is “Inspiring Action for a Sustainable Future.” We chose our theme to wrap around the cycle of empowering people, establishing policy, enhancing processes, enabling action all towards inspiring a sustainable industrial future. While the cycle continues, it begins and ends with people, like you, who are committed to industrial efficiency. And what better place to conduct the study than Portland, Oregon a community that is knit together around a sustainable energy future!
As co-chairs we are committed to making the gathering live up to the ideals of being truly inspirational, delivering actionable outcomes, all within the underlying goal of contributing to a sustainable future. In preparation for Portland we have assembled an incredible team of panel leaders from both the USA and Canada, all well respected in the area of industrial energy efficiency. Although “not to be missed” has become cliché, we are confident that Summer Study 2019 is an event that you will want to make sure you attend.
Join the conversation at the 2019 Summer Study with your ideas, experiences, and vision to make energy efficiency easy and enticing!
We believe industrial efficiency plays an integral role in building a sustainable future. The key: empowered people. By laying a solid foundation with smart policies and addressing challenges with new processes and designs, we can enable and inspire them to take action that will accelerate our journey.
This conference will give you the chance to hear from visionaries and energy leaders, and the opportunity to discuss best practices and new approaches. We know that getting to a sustainable future takes commitment and a coordinated approach.

There is neither a law of physics nor economics that prevents us from quadrupling the productive use of energy and other resources. Rather, it is much more an issue of imagination and our political will to get it done.
