Early planning ensures that attendees will be able to choose from over 40 educational sessions and panel discussions on the most relevant industry topics, as well as, preview the latest industry solutions and technologies at the PowerTest Trade Show.
Another highlight of this year’s NETA Board and Strategy meetings was planning for NETA’s 45th Anniversary. As part of its celebration, NETA will recognize those who have contributed over the years to the advancement of the industry and NETA’s work towards improving quality, safety, and reliability across the electrical power industry. NETA’s 45th Anniversary will be covered in the NETA World Journal throughout fiscal 2017, complemented by celebratory events and promotional activities starting this fall.
