LonMark International Completes Worldwide Seminar Tour

LonMark International (LMI), a non-profit trade association has announced the successful completion of its worldwide seminar tour. Spanning nearly 11 months, the tour visited 52 cities around the world in North America, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East, with nearly 4000 people signing up for the event. The final seminar concluded in Dubai, UAE on March 4, with over 125 people registering.

The one-day comprehensive, educational seminars were aimed at building owners, managers, architects, engineers, system integrators and specifiers, and consisted of in-depth presentations on up-to-date subjects such as "Energy Savings", "Improving Efficiencies through System Integration", "Maintenance, Operating, and Training Cost Reductions", and "Successful Projects and Market Trends". The seminars also offered sponsoring LonMark member companies an excellent opportunity to present their LonWorks technology-based case studies.

"Throughout the tour, users and end-users came forward with real projects, real budgets, and real opportunities. I predict that within the next two years, we'll see an entire new collection of successful LonMark projects around the world," says Ron Bernstein, Executive Director of LonMark International.

"We visited many new and developing markets during the tour, which made it extremely important to match the seminar content to the people," said Dr. Günter Bleimann, Board of Directors, TEMA Technologie Marketing AG. "Speaking in the local language and presenting case studies on local projects was extremely important. With help from the LonMark Affiliates and sponsors, we met this challenge, ensuring that the participants gained useful information, which they could apply in the real world."
