26 - 27 June
EECON 2013, the EESA NSW annual conference & Trade Exhibition, will again be held at the Australian Technology Park Eveleigh this year, on 26 & 27 June. This location has proved to be very popular and convenient for conference exhibitors and delegates. It is very accessible, with plenty of car parking and easy access from Redfern Railway station. It has a large space for exhibitors and good access for heavy equipment. That ensures exhibitors can ably display their products and hold detailed discussions with the many delegates. All meals and refreshments will be served in the exhibition area to ensure maximum exposure for exhibitors.
This is a technical conference for providing ongoing professional development for technical people in the electricity industry. Members of Engineers Australia will earn professional development points. Based on previous conferences we expect 150-200 delegates with all levels of seniority from the NSW transmission and distribution authorities. We also expect a large number of younger people new to the industry and this provides the opportunity for exhibitors to get to know them, as future customers, and for the younger people to get to know the companies which support the industry and provide valuable equipment.
In today’s busy world close networking with colleagues from other networks and manufacturers is difficult, but still vital for making progress both personally and in business. This once-a-year conference provides the ideal opportunity, and must not be missed. The conference will focus on the fast changing world in transmission and distribution, both in Australia and overseas. Innovation will be addressed in detail, covering areas such as intelligent networks, smart grids, power quality and renewable technologies. Large ambitious projects will be discussed, as well as recent disasters and lessons learnt. The final plenary will have experts discussing the future of nuclear power.
A range of exhibition spaces are available and these can be reserved on a “first in, best dressed” basis. There are also a wide range of sponsorships available and these provide exhibitors with extra publicity and help to ingrain company names on present and future customers. We urge early bookings as each one is only available until sold.

European Utility Week is the result of an intensive research and design programme which we have been very careful to sense check with our stakeholders. Bringing the three events into a single, unified and strong brand makes perfect sense, and we are delighted at the feedback we have received from all sections of the business.”
Geoffrey Riggs, Marketing and Communications Manager, Elster illustrated the positive response to European Utility Week, stating: “The new name and concept delivers exactly what the market has been asking for.” Bram Reinders, Manager Alliance Management, Alliander, confirmed: “The European Utility Week brand reflects how important this show is for our industry.”
Addressing all show attendees Rick Wall said: “We created a special European Utility Week stand to give exhibitors and visitors the opportunity to drop by, take a look at the Corporate Identity and discuss our plans for European Utility Week moving forward. I am extremely confident that we will be reflecting on another successful year, and, as importantly, looking ahead to the opening of an exciting new chapter for European Utility Week in 2013.”
