Join CPES and CBIA for our annual business energy conference for a continuing dialogue on Connecticut’s Comprehensive Energy Strategy (CES). This fall the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is expected to release an update to the strategy. Governor Dannel Malloy announced the state’s first comprehensive energy strategy at this CPES-CBIA conference in 2012.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from DEEP Deputy Commissioner for Energy Katie Dykes on what the agency is proposing in the next CES. Live, interactive polling technology will allow you to weigh in on key aspects of the strategy. The conference will feature discussion of technology that can boost your bottom line and meet your energy needs; energy headlines and the upcoming elections; and what the 2016 CES could mean for the state’s economy.

A full breakfast and breaks with food stations will allow ample time for networking before, after, and in between.
