Every year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hosts its ENERGY STAR Product Partner Meeting, an event that brings together manufacturers, retailers, utilities, and energy efficiency program sponsors and advocates from myriad industries — including appliances, electronics, HVAC — to discuss a wide range of topics. And this year, Nationwide Marketing Group is proud to serve as the facilitating co-sponsor of the ENERGY STAR Product Partner Meeting.

Hosted in Denver, November 2-4, the three-day schedule will include various topics and sessions, including:

  • Policy and program updates at the national, regional and local level
  • Topical sessions that address program priorities and product-specific issues
  • Branding, promotions and communications sessions
  • An ENERGY STAR product expo
  • Opportunities to organize and conduct one-on-one meetings with key ENERGY STAR stakeholders

The meeting is open to all ENERGY STAR partners and stakeholders, which includes a broad mix of utilities and energy efficiency program sponsors, retail partners, manufacturing partners who produce ENERGY STAR certified products, organizations involved in the ENERGY STAR Third Party Certification program, and other organizations active in the energy efficiency community.

“The ENERGY STAR Product Partner Meeting presents a tremendous opportunity for all of the key stakeholders to come together and learn about the benefits of being associated with the ENERGY STAR program,” says Richard Weinberg, senior vice president of business services for Nationwide Marketing Group. “Over the last 30 years, many Nationwide Members have learned that when they present and sell ENERGY STAR certified products they are showcasing innovative, feature rich, energy efficient and climate-friendly products that consumers prefer to own. Nationwide remains wholly committed to supporting this critically important program, and we’re proud to showcase our investment in ENERGY STAR by serving as a facilitating co-sponsor for the Product Partner Meeting.”
