Colorado Utility Efficiency Exchange goal is to facilitate a networking and professional development conference for staff representatives of energy and water utilities serving Colorado and neighboring states who are responsible for developing and implementing customer programs related to energy/water efficiency, renewable energy, demand response and key account customer management. This event is expected to attract about 75-100 utility and sponsor organization staff as well as trade allies that provide products and services to support utility programs. The agenda will focus on best practices from regional utilities. This conference is not about how to influence policies or motivate utilities to take action, but rather how utilities that already recognize the need and value are developing and implementing customer programs. 

Fabric Display. All hosts and sponsors will receive a fabric display around the perimeter of the meeting room (see graphic). We believe this special recognition is a more environmentally sustainable alternative to the traditional table-top or pop-up exhibit. All sponsors and supporters will be invited to provide a “camera ready” graphic file which will be reproduced on stretch fabric and erected using light-weight material. This solution reduces the carbon emissions associated with each sponsor and supporter transporting their own display.
