Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, today announced a series of global events kicking off in June 2013 to collaborate and share knowledge with customers, partners and governments on how to solve energy and sustainability challenges. Schneider Electric’s Xperience Efficiency series will begin with events in the United States, China, Colombia, Brazil and Russia.
“The economic, political and social climates today are putting a strain on our society’s ability to make preventing climate change a priority,” said Aaron Davis, Chief Marketing Officer, Schneider Electric. “Efficiency isn’t just for the eco-friendly crowd anymore. There are tangible benefits of an efficiency economy for cities, businesses and citizens of all types. By coming together, we can share knowledge and put a plan in place to drive change in cities, workplaces and other settings across the globe.”
Xperience Efficiency 2013 will take place in the Washington D.C. area from June 4-6 and Dallas, Texas from June 18-20. It is a free event that takes on the demand drivers that are forcing change: economic and government rebalancing; urbanization; digitization; and sustainable resources. By looking at the latest integrated energy trends and sustainability solutions that will transform how we all work, learn, and play, Xperience Efficiency 2013 will show the future of efficiency. Solutions will deliver energy management, energy access, and business process performance answers right across the energy chain, whether at home, work, across the grid, or in towns and cities.
Participants will experience:
• More than 20 breakout sessions addressing market, industry and solution trends
• Interactive marketplace including the latest developments in systems, solutions, and technology
• Nationally and internationally renowned experts from government, business, academia, and industry
• Firsthand stories of companies experiencing efficiency today
"We all have a role to play in ensuring a more efficient and sustainable economy and world," said Chris Curtis, President and CEO, North America Operations. "Businesses and government agencies need to work together and play a more active, collaborative role in this process. The technologies exist today to drive new levels of efficiency in all operations and we want to be a leader in helping bring this collaboration together.
