   WHAT:

   "ConnectivityWeek 2008"

   First came the Industrial Revolution, then the Information
Revolution, and now a new "Energy Revolution" which is leveraging both
previous advances and utilizing information technology to
fundamentally change how we create, distribute and employ energy.

   Events at ConnectivityWeek focus on harnessing new information and
sensor technologies to create a power grid system that balances
off-peak, inexpensive and renewable energy in homes and businesses
across the country with high energy demands.

   ConnectivityWeek envisions billions of connected smart devices
including home appliances, environmental controls and industrial
robots that will enable this energy revolution, allowing users to
efficiently monitor and regulate their energy consumption and maximize
renewable energy use.

   ConnectivityWeek 2008 is made up of the following events:

   --  BuilConn: Examining the deployment of IT for buildings.

   --  HomeConn: Incorporating millions of smart meters and smart
        energy appliances into homes.

   --  IndComm: Industrial Automation and the use of connectivity in
        industrial applications.

   --  DR-Expo: Developing innovative strategies for curtailing peak
        energy demand and relieve stress on North America's
        electricity grid.

   --  GridWise: Planning the creation of a smart grid to manage
