For 51 years, the American Public Power Association has been hosting the annual Engineering & Operations Technical Conference. The E&O was founded to meet the unique needs of professionals charged with designing, developing and maintaining the electric systems across the country.
Today, the E&O conference continues to be the only national conference designed to meet the needs of engineering and operations staff, and has expanded to include a public power lineworkers’ rodeo competition. The E&O conference benefits public power professionals working in the areas of transmission and distribution, environmental policy, generation, safety, SCADA, metering, security and system planning.
The conference provides pre and post-conference seminars, informative sessions presented by experts in the areas of engineering and operations, a vendor expo featuring the industry’s latest products, and valuable networking opportunities.
Save the date and plan to attend in 2008: April 20-23 in Indianapolis, IN at the Indianapolis Downtown Marriott.
