Honeywell Begins Momentum Conference For Top Contractors and Distributors

PHOENIX, February 5, 2007 – Today Honeywell (NYSE: HON) welcomed more than 350 distributors and contractors from across the country to its inaugural Momentum Conference at the Pointe South Mountain Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. Momentum is the definitive conference for Honeywell’s commercial HVAC contractor and distributor community, providing an opportunity to evaluate the latest HVAC technologies, participate in a wide range of training sessions and get hands-on experience with new Honeywell products.

“The first thing Momentum does is bring contractors, distributors and Honeywell together to share ideas not just about products, but also about business strategies and the industry itself,” said Tony Sugalski, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Building Control Systems. “We’re kicking off the informative sessions today, but really, the conference began last night when many of our customers joined us for our Big Game Kickoff Party. Momentum is designed to be insightful and informative, but we’ve built in time for socializing as well.”

Keynote speakers and a panel of industry experts are on hand to lead sessions and provide perspectives on the future of the industry. Keynote speakers include Pat Williams, senior vice president of the NBA’s Orlando Magic and one of America’s top motivational speakers, and John Sweeney, an improvisational actor and owner of the Brave New Workshop, who has presented his corporate training curriculum to a wide range of Fortune 500 companies. A panel of industry experts, including representatives from the media, Air Conditioning Contractors of America, distributors and contractors, will headline a “Building Technologies of the Future” discussion, including an overview of what’s coming and ways for contractors to stay on top of technological advances to keep their businesses up-to-date and growing.

“We want to serve our distributors and contractors with an overall perspective of the industry,” adds Dave Molin, general manager, Honeywell Building Control Systems, “and we also want them to see how Honeywell is positioned to help them succeed. We have workshops and training opportunities throughout Momentum, and we’re also launching eight new products that showcase Honeywell’s commitment to continued leadership in building control systems.”

Workshops at the Momentum Conference range from hands-on training for new products to business-building workshops, such as “Are You Open To Integration?” and “Growing Your Business With Honeywell Programs.” In all, more than 15 workshops will be available to conference attendees.

A dinner and trade show each evening of the conference will provide contractors and distributors with another opportunity to review products and services firsthand as well as take advantage of special deals. “The distributors and contractors attending Momentum are among the industry’s most committed,” said Sugalski. “Along with the information provided at the conference, we want to reward their attendance with product offers that will only be available to attendees.”

In addition to the speakers, workshops and trade show, Honeywell’s commitment to the Momentum Conference is shown in the number of Honeywell executives in attendance. Along with Sugalski and Molin, Roger Fradin, president and CEO of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions, Andreas Kramvis, president of Honeywell Environmental and Combustions Controls, and Daryll Fogal, vice president, Engineering & Technology, Honeywell Building Solutions are here. These Honeywell leaders will be meeting with contractors and distributors to stay in touch with “the field” and will also be available to meet with media members for both a press conference and one-on-one interviews.
