The IICA is trialling a new format for its Table Top exhibitions this year, writes president Dirk Kuiper.

The Institute of Instrumentation, Control and Automation (IICA) is trialling a new focus for its Table Top exhibitions this year; the exhibitions will take advantage of the vast array of new products that are show cased at these events each month.

The new format will commence with the Wagga Table Top on Wednesday 24 March at Wagga Wagga RSL in New South Wales, followed by the Newcastle Table Top on Wednesday 14 April at Wests Leagues Club in New South Wales.

IICA is requesting that exhibitors supply information on one product they would like included in the new-look email invitation which will be distrib uted to potential visitors to the shows. Typical visitors include end users, consultants, contractors, project managers, electrical and electronics engineers, electricians, tradespersons, fitters, technicians, apprentices and students involved in the process control market.

“The idea stems from the committee wanting to ensure high visitor atten dance to the Table Tops and to lure regular and new visitors to the show,” said IICA NSW secretary, Julie Meynell.

“By focussing on specific product types, potential visitors will know what they can expect to see.”

Free Demonstration and Technical Sessions will also be held throughout the afternoon at the Wagga Table Top to provide important education and infor mation on the following topics:

• ‘Building Power Monitoring’ by Hubert Habicht (APCS)
• ‘PC 1600 Controller Application Example’ by Richard Gobee (OEM)
• ‘How to install a drive’ by Craig Southwell (Schneider Electric)
• ‘Demonstration of Jobs Board’ by Ray Pavri (Sustainergy).

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to promote your new products and current process control, automation and instrumentation offerings to a wide range of visitors at IICA Table Tops.

Admission to these events is free. Please register by emailing Julie Meynell at nsw@iica.org.au or visit the IICA website (www.iica.org.au) for further infor mation on IICA Table Tops.
