The UK's first Profibus International Conference was an outstanding success with over 100 delegates from over 20 countries, coming from as far away as America, Trinidad and China.
The UK's first Profibus International Conference was an outstanding success with over 100 delegates from over 20 countries, coming from as far away as America, Trinidad and China.
The conference provided training and application reports on the latest developments in Profibus, and the other variants of the technology.
So successful was the Conference and exhibition that the organisers have already announced the dates and venue for 2005: 21st and 22nd June 2005, once again at Ragley Hall, which proved itself a delightful venue, full of interest for the many visitors from all over the world.
"We had an absolutely fantastic conference with much new material presented covering the latest developments in Profibus, Profinet, Profisafe, Profidrive and Profibus PA", said Organiser and UK Chairman, Bob Squirrell.
"Everybody was delighted with the content, the warm friendly atmosphere and the impressive features of historic Ragley Hall"> John Williamson of United Utilities agrees: "As a user in the water industry we were very pleased that a conference was available on this subject and it provided us with the necessary stimulus to decide to adopt Profibus technology more widely from now on".
"The event provided a good balance between academic and practical subjects, and between workshops or lectures".
"There was a good mix of suppliers and users also".
"Also the number of exhibitors gave confidence to users that Profibus is being widely supported, and that co-operation exists to evolve standards and products which will be interoperable".
"We really look forward to next year's event".
Another looking forward is Ian Thain of Frostechnic, who commented: "Ragley Hall was an excellent choice of venue, and the content of the various presentations was all of great interest to me".
"We manufacture control systems for the refrigeration and power generation industries, and for me as a software engineer, Profinet in particular holds much promise".
"I am also interested in the Certified Profibus Engineer course at Manchester".
Full details of the conference along with many other similarly enthusiastic testimonials from the likes of Rolls Royce Marine Electrical Systems, The Water and Sewerage Authority of Trinidad and Tobago, Infraserv Hochst Technik, Burkert Fluid Control, Hawke Fieldbus, Endress + Hauser and Siemens can be found on the conference website.
Until more details of the conference content are announced, early-bird bookings will be accepted at the 2004 prices of GBP 120 per day or GBP 195 plus VAT for a two day package.
Exhibition places will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
