NEW YORK and WORCESTER, Mass., Sept. 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- World Energy Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:XWES), a leading energy management services firm, today announced it has been selected to present at Craig-Hallum's fourth annual Alpha Select Conference in New York.
Phil Adams, Chief Executive Officer of World Energy Solutions, will address conference attendees on Thursday, September 26 at 9:45 a.m. at Convene, 730 3rd Avenue, New York City. The presentation will also be webcast at: http://wsw.com/webcast/ch3/xwes/.
"We are honored to be presenting again at the Craig-Hallum Alpha Select Conference and eager to meet with the many investors there who are seeking quality investment ideas," said Mr. Adams.
The 4th annual Alpha Select Conference will showcase 80+ small and microcap companies that fit the Alpha Select List criteria. The Alpha Select List is an actively researched collection of small, under-followed public companies that Craig-Hallum believes have the potential to become much larger. The firm's search for these "hidden gems" involves identifying sub-$250M market cap companies with as many of the following characteristics as possible: attractive business model, favorable macro-secular themes, above average growth prospects, strong management team, unique and elegant solution to a large problem, sustainable competitive advantage, and significant unappreciated value.
