Montreal, QC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2014 -- The end of 2014 was marked by the Progressive Energy, Environment & Sustainability #20 and Manufacturing Summit. Both Summits took place at the Westin Buckhead Atlanta introducing topics ranging from energy efficiency, cost reduction and environmental remediation to continuous improvement and lean manufacturing; the two tracks presented simultaneously. 25 Solution Providers had the opportunity to interact with over 150 Delegates interested in various technologies and services presented at the Summit. Over 400 one-on-one meetings were scheduled yielding ample opportunities for networking and relationship building.

"This FMA Summit was not only more relevant than others," said Raytheon's Senior Director of Corporate Operations, "the participants were much more knowledgeable in their subject areas. Networking at this Summit was seamless and managed appropriately."

Corning Incorporated's Senior Facilities Project Manager added, "I enjoyed talking with folks that have the same interests and job responsibilities. Solution Providers were relevant and presented me with some new ideas and strategies. This was my first time attending and I found it to be worth my time investment."

"The level of customer was outstanding as the customers were buyers. The format of the presentations was excellent!" enthused Gerald Conboy, Vice President Financial Solutions for Doosan Fuel Cell Technology.
