If you know me, you know that over the years I have attended hundreds of these types of industry conferences, as an attendee, a business owner, an exhibitor, and more recently as a presenter, workshop leader and keynote speaker.![logo-HPB2016.svg](https://www.newmanconsultinggroup.us/hubfs/images/logo-HPB2016.svg "logo-HPB2016.svg") There is no better opportunity to network with your peers, find out what’s new, and learn industry best practices.

You have carefully screened your provider ([see our document on questions to ask)](https://www.newmanconsultinggroup.us/yes-i-want-the-guide-how-to-choose-an-energy-auditor/), and you have management buy-in to have an audit done.
