Automation & Power World returns to Houston in March 2017
STEPHANIE JONES – Since 2009,
ABB Automation & Power World has
brought together professionals from
the utility, industry, and transportation
and infrastructure sectors for the
company’s premier educational and
collaboration event in North America.
In 2017, the event will return to the
George R. Brown Convention Center in
Houston, Texas, on March 13–16.
Automation & Power World offers
four days of training, networking
opportunities and the chance
to see firsthand the widest
range of technologies available from one
company in one location ➔ 1. Together
with thousands of customer attendees,
ABB technical experts, industry leaders,
ABB management and business partners
will take a focused look at how all stakeholders
can succeed together in a changing
business environment.
Attendees can choose from hundreds of
educational workshops, daily keynotes by
industry leaders, panel discussions and
hands-on training courses to create a
customized learning experience. Workshops
focus on topics to help achieve
business goals, and are presented by
technical experts, end users and industry
specialists.
1 The chance to see first-hand the widest range of technologies available from ABB
in one location
The Technology & Solution Center will
house the largest portfolio of ABB products,
solutions and services in North
America. Visitors will have hands-on access
to the latest power and automation
software and technology. Plus, ABB experts
will be available to explain what is
on display, answer questions and share
their insights.
The conference also features multiple
collaboration opportunities. From hosted
peer-to-peer roundtable discussions to
industry-specific plenary sessions to daily
networking events, attendees can meet
peers in their own industry as well as
those with similar responsibilities in other
industries to exchange information on
what has worked – and what has not –
when facing comparable issues.
Not only is the Automation & Power
World experience priceless, so is event
registration. There is no conference fee
for ABB customers and other industry
professionals to attend. So mark your
calendars for March 13–16, 2017, and
