Gas Turbine Users Symposium Powers Up in New
Orleans Next Month
ASME's International Gas Turbine
Institute will hold its Gas Turbine Users Symposium (GTUS) next
month in conjunction with Power-Gen International. The symposium
will take place from Dec. 11–13 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention
Center in New Orleans.
Developed by gas turbine users for gas turbine users, GTUS provides
an objective forum in which to network and exchange the latest in
technology and best practices. Leaders across the spectrum of gas
turbine applications and field expertise have teamed up to organize
panels, tutorials and roundtables — session formats that offer
the greatest benefit and exchange of technology and best practices.
The event will focus on user concerns and issues in the areas of
equipment and products, engine management, and maintenance and repair.
Registration for the Gas Turbine Users Symposium, now in its fourth
year at Power-Gen, will also provide you with free access to the
Power-Gen show floor and complimentary daily lunches. For prices
and to register, visit www.asmeconferences.org/GTUS07/ConfRegistration.cfm.
For more information, contact Judy Osborn at IGTI, (404) 419-1643,
e-mail osbornj@asme.org,
