I have been talking with my friend Tommy Mayne. He is the go to guy for the IEEE PES Organizing Committee. If you want to know what's going on with the T&D Expo just ask him, but that statement comes with a warning. Ask at your own risk. Tommy is extremely infectious and always looking for volunteers (more on that next blog). He is so excited about the conference and what he is doing. It is hard not to catch the excitement. After a few minutes on the phone, I was caught up too!
Tommy told me the conference is breaking all the past records. There are over 760 exhibitors covering over 200,000 square-feet signed up. 200,000 square feet is hard to imagine - that is over four football fields in size. 760 exhibitors is head scratching too. That is huge, no wonder Tommy was so excited. I'm glad I have that mobile app downloaded. With all the exhibitors, sessions, and appointments, I am going to need all the help I can get.
If you haven't done it yet, go to www.ieeet-d.org to download the tools you are going to need it if you expect to make the most of your time on the floor.
