Thanks to all who attended the conference. As usual, there was a lot of good information-sharing and collaboration. But just because the event is over, doesn’t mean you have to end the conversation. Continue sharing and collaborating on Conduit, where the Northwest shapes energy efficiency. Here are some ways to get plugged in:
Five tips from Summer and Ben
1) Browse existing conference resources.
2) Re-play the Conduit Jeopardy Game.
3) Join the group that kicked off based on conference workshop talks: “Smart Meter – Marketing Best Practices”. This a private group so if you want to join, please contact Libby to request membership.
4) Use the tag “NCEIC” if you start a new conference-related resource.
5) Upload your 2011 Excellence in Communication Award Winning materials to Conduit so that others in the region, who weren't lucky enough to attend NCEIC this year, can appreciate your work.
The Conduit team has offered to extend your opportunity to win a Conduit coffee mug and $10 Starbucks gift card. To win: Start up a discussion and get two comments, then email info@conduitnw.org to redeem. Please note that this offer is for NCEIC 2011 attendees only.
