EEA2017: Electricity Challenges : Industry Solutions

Held over 21 to 23 June 2017, TSB Arena & Shed 6 Complex, Wellington

The EEA Executive Committee and team would like to thank all delegates, exhibitors, paper presenters and sponsors for their contribution in making this year's conference another success.

Special thanks to our international keynotes speakers from IET (Graham Ault), IEEE (PES) (Dr. Edvina Uzunovic and CIGRE (Dr. Zia Emin) plus our New Zealand Keynotes, Phil Gibson (Mercury Energy), Martin Richardson, Audit Services and Nicole Rosie, CEO of WorkSafe.

EEA2017 : Electricity challenges : Industry solutions recognises that the industry faces many challenges, from new technology and evolving customer expectations to commercial and regulatory pressures. The electricity industry is rising to these challenges with innovation, leadership and robust engineering solutions.

Over a 1,000 delegates, exhibitors & visitors joined us in the heart of Wellington to hear best practice, the latest solutions and practical developments from New Zealand and overseas. The Exhibition was busy again over the two and a half days with over a hundred exhibition stands and plenty of opportunity for delegates and visitors to engage with leading industry equipment and service providers, contractors, consultants and other industry stakeholders.

The Conference also incorporated EEA awards for engineering, health and safety and professional development and had valuable insight for attendees from experienced practitioners to young engineers.

In 2018 we are back in Auckland over the dates 20 to 22 June 2018 at the SkyCity Convention Centre. Place these dates into your diaries now.
