DOWN TO EARTH CONFERENCE 2018CONFERENCE REGISTRATION
The DTEC 2018 organising committee, with the support of the Electrical Branches of the Victorian and Newcastle Division of Engineers Australia, will host the fifth Australian Down to Earth Conference (DTEC) on Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th November 2018 at Crown Melbourne.
The DTEC 2016 was held in the Hunter Valley and was an extremely successful event with strong attendance reflecting the ongoing technical and policy interest in all matters earthing and lightning related.
This fifth conference continues the DTEC tradition as the premier earthing conference in the Oceanic region, providing opportunities for:
• Earthing and lightning protection specialists to present their recent experiences and the latest advances.
• Opportunity to discuss recent developments in national and international standards.
• Electrical contractors to share installation, maintenance and testing practices.
• Engineers to publish peer-reviewed technical papers.
• Asset owners, regulators, educators, and interested engineers to increase awareness of issues significant in the field and discuss how they are being handled.
• Earthing practitioners, past earthing course attendees and people new to the field to get together and share experiences.
• Suppliers and consultants to showcase their capabilities and products.
The technical programme will consist of two components:
• Presentation of peer reviewed technical papers addressing recent advances in earthing and lightning protection related fields. Suitably accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and in a technical journal pending approval of the conference.
• Presentation using a less formal approach to cover recent experiences such as technically challenging installations/designs, applications of tools/methods, report on any incidents of wider interest, provide updates on research topics, and introduce any new tools/materials.
Please join us at the Crown Melbourne for DTEC 2018, November 27-28.
