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." 

Further details on the LONMARK Fall General meeting, including sign-up forms are available at: www.lonmark.org

THE LONMARK INTEROPERABILITY ASSOCIATION 
Since its inception in 1994, the LONMARK Interoperability Association has become a major driving force in the establishment of interoperable guidelines for building, industrial, transportation and residential/utility automation. LONMARK membership is open to any manufacturer, end-user and system integrator committed to the development and use of open, interoperable products using multi-vendor LONWORKS control networks. Products that have been verified to conform to Echelon's LONMARK interoperability guidelines are eligible to carry the LONMARK logo, an indicator that a product has been designed to interoperate over a LONWORKS network.
