The LONMARK Interoperability Association will be holding its Fall General Meeting on October 30, 2002 at the National Trade Centre, Toronto, Canada, in conjunction with the LONWORLD 2002 exhibition and conference that is taking place at the same venue from October 31 to November 1. Leading integrators, developers, OEM specifiers, energy providers, utility managers, service providers and end-users from around the world who design, specify and integrate open, multi-vendor control systems based on LONMARK certified products and Echelon Corporation's LONWORKS® device networks, as well as those completely new to the world of open systems, will be able to attend both events. To achieve an even greater synergy effect, LONWORLD will this year also co-locate with the ISH North America, the international trade fair for sanitation, plumbing, heating and air conditioning. 

"By staging the LONMARK Fall General Meeting in conjunction with LONWORLD 2002, the LONMARK Interoperability Association and its members will be able to highlight the worldwide growth of the Association not only to the LONWORKS community at large, but also to those LONWORLD attendees who are interested in learning more about the benefits of open systems," says Kevin Lynch, Executive Director of the LONMARK Interoperability Association. "The fact that LONWORLD is this year co-locating with the ISH North America means that the synergy effects will be even greater."
