Programs for co-located Turbo Expo 2003 and IJPGC begin to take shape

ASME's two major power conferences, ASME Turbo Expo 2003 — Power for Land, Sea and Air and the International Joint Power Generation Conference, will be held concurrently from June 16-19 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

Together, the conferences typically draw nearly 5,000 participants from 60 countries. Turbo Expo is sponsored by ASME's International Gas Turbine Institute. IJPGC is sponsored by ASME's Power Division.

Turbo Expo will offer a Gas Turbine Users Symposium featuring panels, tutorials and discussions, which will function as forums for users to share practical solutions on maintenance and operations issues. In addition, the Technical Congress will feature more than 600 refereed papers addressing developmental and design technology.

IJPGC, which is considered the most technically acclaimed event in the power industry, will provide a technical forum for professionals at utility companies and other power generation facilities.

Unified registration will allow registrants to attend the keynote session, three-day exposition (June 16-18) and all sessions of both conferences.

The keynote session for both events will feature three high-level executives who represent the product development and end-user sides of the power business.

The speakers are Paul Bowers, president of Southern Company Generation and Energy Marketing; Mark Little, vice president of GE Power Systems Energy Products, and Udo Rieder, vice president of engineering and planning at Delta Airlines. Bowers, Little and Rieder will address the theme, "Global Power and Propulsion Solutions."
