TechCon® Introduction                   

TechCon® 2009 represents the 14th year of TJ|H2b's efforts to provide a forum for the exchange of information related to the management and maintenance of high-voltage electrical equipment.  Since the year 2000, TechCon® has grown into a global series of conferences which facilitate the transfer of information to the worldwide power industry. TechCon® presentations cover a broad range of assets primarily transformers, switchgear,  and on-load tap changers. Speakers share experiences, practices and information about new technologies.  The primary objective of this conference is to deliver practical information and strategies that can be used to realize immediate safety, financial and technical benefits.

 

TechCon® 2009 will feature a two-track program  that accommodates every level of need. The conference also features an exhibition where many key companies showcase their product and service offerings.  During the evening exhibition/reception and delegates will have an opportunity to network and to learn about the latest in technology and services. Following the exhibition, there will be a hosted dinner which will feature the comedy-magician, Matt Hollywood.
