Additionally, 14 leading industry suppliers have signed on to participate as Innovation Summit sponsors, leaving six openings still available. Independent energy advisory and solutions integration company Edison Energy is the Summit's presenting sponsor.

"Managing participation from C&I companies has been a challenge, with several asking if they can bring three to five team members; I've frankly never seen anything like it," Smart Energy Decisions founder and editorial director John Failla said. "We're eight weeks out and already oversubscribed with energy management executives from large commercial and industrial companies." 

Attendance at the Innovation Summit is limited to qualified energy management executives from large C&I companies and supplier sponsors. To learn more, request an invitation or apply to become a supplier sponsor, visit the Innovation Summit website.
