The Chairman's Message
 

October 2008 The 2008 Emerson Global User Exchange conference in Washington DC was a huge success! We exceeded conference goals once again, and had more participants, more workshops and more exhibitors than ever before. 2,643 attendees from 46 difference countries created a truly global exchange - WOW!   There were many opportunities to share ideas that become solutions. I want to thank all of the many presenters, guest speakers, exhibitors, instructors, board members and Emerson staff who helped us with workshops, short courses, exhibits, and attendance. Special thanks to the outgoing chairman – Greg Stephens. Users participated in and gained significant value from: … 312 Short Courses, Workshops, and Roadmaps to choose from … 9 Industry Forums … a special one-day Management Program to identify, introduce, and successfully implement the ideas that become solutions for your company, and, … a spectacular event at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum  In his last keynote as a Business Leader for Emerson Process Management John Berra handed over the keys to Steve Sonnenberg and exited the stage to a standing ovation.   The conference also featured a 55,000-square-foot (5100-square-meter) interactive application and technology exhibit where the benefits of digital automation and system migration were demonstrated, along with the latest smart field transmitters, valve & valve automation solutions, wireless instrumentation, and PlantWeb technology. We are already planning the 2009 Emerson Global User Exchange conference.  Look for the “Call for Presentations” in January and submit your abstracts early if you would like to present at next year’s conference in Orlando, FL.  And, be sure and mark your calendars early for next year’s conference:  September 28 - October 2, 2009 Gaylord Palms in Orlando, FL  As always, we value your ideas, comments and participation. Please feel free to contact me or any member of the Board, if you have questions or feedback on the Emerson Global Users Exchange.   Christoph Lebl, Chairman Emerson Global Users Exchange Board of Directors   >> Read more from our Chairman Message Archives
