The 2014 Emerson Global Users Exchange, Europe, Middle East and Africa will be held 1-3 April at the International Congress Center in Stuttgart, Germany. Themed ‘Breakthrough to Excellence’, the event will be tailored to meet the needs of users from the three regions. Delegates will learn how their peers are competing in challenging economic times – from using technology to compensate for the shortage of people and skills, to maximising the life cycle value of investments.
“We were very pleased with the huge attendance of our Middle Eastern and African customers at the Global Users Exchange in 2012, and we expect an even larger crowd in Stuttgart,” says Dave Tredinnick, president, Emerson Process Management Middle East and Africa. “This event provides a unique opportunity for delegates to share their successes to help our community get the best out of its automation investments.”
Continuing the tradition of a high quality, user-driven conference, the Emerson Global Users Exchange organisation is again looking for excellent presentations that support the ‘Breakthrough to Excellence’ theme. Users can share their experiences and expertise with their process automation peers by giving a presentation at the event. Presenting at the Global Users Exchange provides a unique opportunity for users to showcase their company and its successful operational practices.
The 2014 programme will follow the same popular format as previous events by offering presentations, industry forums, solutions exhibition and product roadmaps. Delegates will be able to choose from themed presentations in English, German and Russian.
