Industrial Energy Technology
Conference
Industry is the largest and most diverse energy-consuming
sector in the United States, utilizing one-third of the total
energy used. Many energy-intensive industries such
as petrochemicals, aluminum, steel, refining and forest
products are limited in their mix of energy sources and
raw materials that can be used in their processes. Many
opportunities exist, or must be found, to reduce energy
usage and feedstock issues in order to sustain this wide
range of industrial manufacturing operations. Come to
the IETC and be a part of the solution as these problems
are confronted and solved by industry leaders.
Conference & Workshops
The Industrial Energy Technology Conference (IETC) is
a national conference 37 years running that provides
answers to energy and related environmental concerns
affecting industrial facilities and processes. The
conference kicks off with the 23rd Energy Managers
Workshop, and continues with featured speakers during
two days of technical presentations.
Coffee and meal breaks on both conference days and
an evening reception on Wednesday, June 3 provide
additional opportunities for informal interaction. Oneon-one discussions with speakers, panelists, and other
attendees frequently lead to sharing of experiences where
you can find out what works, what does not work, what
to watch out for, and how to improve your company’s
bottom line.
The IETC Exhibit space is in the 10th floor of the hotel,
next to the registration and coffee break area, and the
luncheon ballrooms, and will be open all hours of the
conference and especially during the coffee breaks! Come
by and visit and see what our exhibitors have to show you.
Each registrant will receive a flash drive containing the
conference proceedings, the paper abstracts, and all
conference documents.
The IETC staff and your hosts are committed to
providing you with timely, practical and useful energyrelated information. We want to help you expand your
knowledge and increase your value as an employee or
independent consultant. We want you to profit from the
technical expertise and experience of our speakers and
gain meaningful insights by discussing your interests and
concerns with other professionals. That’s what the IETC
is all about. It is very unique technically and has been
described by hundreds of previous attendees as “the one
industrial energy technology conference you cannot afford
to miss!”
