What Participants Say About CxEnergy
CxEnergy 2024 was everything I expected and more.... yes, San Deigo is a boring sunny 70 degrees, but CxEnergy 2024 was anything but boring. I got to meet new people, renewed and reinforced old friendships, and most importantly had excellent takeaways from the best presentations ever. Looking forward to Charlotte next year.
Dave Guberud,Ring & DuChateau
The CxEnergy event is consistently one of the best commissioning events we attend. Our sales team returns eager to sign up again, which is a testament to how well-organized and valuable the event is.
SUSAN OBLAKFacility Grid
ONICON and Air Monitor have sponsored and exhibited at the CxEnergy show for over the last 6 years, and every year it just gets better and better!
Emilie BrunONICON Incorporated
Had a great time speaking at and attending the CxEnergy 2024 conference this week in San Diego. All of the sessions I attended were excellent. Anyone interested in commissioning, energy efficiency, decarbonization, etc. should attend next year's event in Charlotte!
