My first Automation Fair was 1997. I think last year was the first I missed since. Not sure if I’ll be there or not this year. Depends on what they might be showing. Or whether they invite me as media/analyst. I don’t pay in order to promote them.
This year is Anaheim in mid-November. According to the link from the email they sent me, this year will cost you money. Looks like a fee for entrance to the trade show part and tack on $1,000 for entrance to sessions. The link they sent me was somewhat personalized or I’d share it.
Other customer conferences.
I will be at the Ignition Community Conference in Folsom, Calif. on September 17-18. I’ve seen where HUG Americas will be in Dallas at the beginning of October. No other information forthcoming. I’m no longer on Emerson’s list it seems, but I’ve heard nothing of what’s up there. Last year it was quite scaled back. The many other conferences I attended for years simply no longer exist. A sign of a matured industry.
