PROFIBUS & PROFINET User
Conference 2010
Following the undoubted success
of the last six conferences, PROFIBUS UK is delighted to announce the PROFIBUS &
PROFINET User Conference 2010.
Based on the feedback gained over the previous
years, 2010 promises to be better-than-ever! Totally user-focused, the conference and exhibition
will take place on June 29 & 30 at Stratford Manor,
Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.
Comprehensive Educational
Programme
Covering latest developments in PROFIBUS, PROFINET and PROFIsafe technology for factory
and process automation, the programme places great emphasis on serving the
needs of the User community, i.e. companies that own, operate, design, build or
maintain manufacturing facilities and process plant. The aim is to assist
companies making the transition from conventional to fieldbus systems as easy
(and jargon free) as possible.
Sessions include audience participation so there will be ample opportunity to
explore for yourself how PROFIBUS and PROFINET equipment and techniques are
used in practice. The carefully organised schedule means that you can attend
hands-on sessions without having to miss an important presentation.
The event is
supported by a free of charge exhibition with interactive displays and
technology demonstrations from the UK's PROFIBUS Competence Centre and leading
product vendors, trainers, consultants and systems integrators.
Who Should
Attend and why?
The programme of
parallel conference presentations, hands-on practical sessions and exhibition
mean that this event is a "must" for anyone involved in, or thinking
about, fieldbus, intelligent instrumentation and actuation, networked control
systems applications. Supported by live demonstrations of actual tools used in
calibration and maintenance, the programme will be of great value to Instrument
Technicians/Engineers, C&I Engineers and System Engineers involved in
design, operation and maintenance of modern process and manufacturing plant. A Certificate of Attendance will be
issued to all delegates to add to their professional training records.
Your Questions
Answered
To ensure that no-one leaves with questions
unanswered, we give pre-booked Delegates the chance to pose their questions in
advance of the Conference so that our speakers can adequately research and
address them during the sessions. FREE Admission
to Exhibition
Admission to the Exhibition is free-of-charge
