TechCon Introduction

TechCon conferences are now conducted in three regions around the globe: North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. TechCon focuses on the reliability, diagnostic evaluation and maintenance of high-voltage electrical equipment with an emphasis on the changing environment of utility practices. Operations, procedures and practices must conform to standards of safety and efficiency - TechCon takes on this challenge by providing a forum for new ideas and solutions.
