History of the Energy Matters Summit

The first Energy Matters Summit was held in 2005 as an out-reach program to educate and promote awareness of sustainable energy management practices in public sector agencies. Over the past decade, the conference has gained a tremendous reputation and has become one of the leading forums within the energy industry, attracting delegates from around the world. Hundreds of public and private sector organizations such as municipalities, provinces, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, manufacturers, property management, retailers and consulting organizations, respectively come together to promote strategies that manage energy costs, control consumption, and explore the leading tools and technologies available to shape policies on these matters.

The success and continual growth of the Energy Matters Summit can be attributed to the following factors:

Advocates sound public policies for the promotion and implementation of sustainable energy management solutions;
