Echelon addresses global opportunities for home automation at CONNECTIONS™ Europe

CONNECTIONS™ Europe today announced M. Kenneth Oshman, chairman and CEO of Echelon Corporation, will deliver the conference’s opening keynote on November 16, to discuss the worldwide mass-market opportunities in home automation.

CONNECTIONS™ Europe: Strategies for Digital Living Markets, produced by Parks Associates in partnership with the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA®), will take place November 14-16, 2006, at the Adlon Kempinski in Berlin, Germany.

M. Kenneth Oshman’s insight will be invaluable to companies looking to create value and connect with consumers in this truly global market.”
