Energy efficiency experts from the public and private sectors will gather May 20-21 in Washington, DC, for EE Global 2013, a forum that will address some of the most pressing questions related to the global economy and the environment, including strengthening investments in energy efficiency technologies, climate uncertainty, and the role of emerging markets in energy policies. The forum is hosted in part by the Alliance to Save Energy, a longtime APTA partner.

The agenda features high-level plenary sessions, breakout workshops and programs, and “executive dialogues”—interactive discussions with corporate executives, senior government officials, and industry experts. APTA President & CEO Michael Melaniphy will discuss the role of public transportation in “Cities of Tomorrow,” an executive dialogue scheduled for May 21.

Other forum presenters include U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus; Kandeh Yumkella, executive director, United Nations Industrial Development ­Organization; Jeff M. Fettig, chairman and chief executive officer, Whirlpool Corp.; Carol Eicher, business president, Dow Buildings and Construction; Abdullah Al Shehri, governor of the electricity and co-generation authority, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Ashok Sarkar, senior energy efficiency specialist, World Bank; Elizabeth McDonald, president and chief executive officer, Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance; Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA); Jon Powers, White House Council on Environmental Quality; and Roger Flanagan, director of energy solutions, Lockheed Martin.
