Announcing the next PROFIBUS & PROFINET Conference!

Welcome to our 20th Anniversary Conference The PROFIBUS Group was founded in May 1993. Twenty two years later, we're still celebrating, this time with a two-day Conference with Workshops and Table Top Exhibition to be held at the end of June 2015 at The Stratford Manor Hotel, Stratford-upon-Avon, where we have held our conferences for a number of years. 
 
The conference is designed for engineers, managers and indeed anyone concerned with the real issues of implementing fieldbus and/or industrial Ethernet technologies. The programme will contain a mixture of presentations, demonstrations and hands-on practical sessions that are suitable for a wide variety of experience; from first-time users to those with extensive experience with working systems. It will cover latest developments in PROFIBUS and PROFINET technology for factory and process automation including safety, motion control, wireless implementations and integration with the Internet and MES. The event will concentrate on the real issues of implementation, maintenance and management of PROFIBUS and PROFINET systems.
