district energy fits in the range of energy and
environmental solutions.
Ultimately, as we advance in our careers,
IDEA also offers a platform to give something back to the industry. As the young cubs
become the venerable old lions, many of us
can share years of experience to help coach
successors and new participants. IDEA provides
a forum for continuous learning, but also a
venue for career growth. Helping a colleague
over a hurdle you’ve already straddled is both
rewarding and enriching. In this way, IDEA
allows industry professionals to both give
and take.
We are pleased that so many have chosen
to participate in IDEA and our conferences
over the years – and we look forward to
hosting you at the marketing and distribution
workshops in early November in Phoenix, the
Campus Energy Conference in February in
Albuquerque, and the 97th Annual Conference
& Trade Show next June in Nashville.
