On October 24, 2017 Horizon Solutions, Rockwell Automation and Hallam-ICS co-sponsored a Drives Symposium, a technical seminar focused on Variable Frequency Drive technology and applications.
The free, full-day seminar was held at the Double Tree Hotel in South Burlington with a target audience of Engineers, Maintenance and Technical Managers employed by local manufacturing and industrial companies. The response was tremendous as over 50 people, form 19 different organizations, signed up for the event. Personally, it was wonderful to see and catch-up with some familiar clients but was equally great to meet some new folks in the process.
The attendees were deeply engaged in the presentation, especially after Horizon offered free Rockwell Automation merch for those answering questions correctly!
Following a BBQ lunch, the seminar continued with a wide variety of technical presentations and some specific information about Rockwell Automation drive products.
As you can tell it was an information-packed and energy filled day.
I would like to conclude with a thank you to Horizon Solutions and Rockwell Automation for bringing this great event and technical expertise to our area. The Symposium was about 6 months in the making and was supported by a team of people from both of these organization. A special thanks to Kevin Beach and Dan Langan for partnering with me to bring the seminar to fruition.
