This is the 11th Anniversary of this event and each year over 500 people attend from North and South America. Last year, Curtis Engine had its largest group ever with 41 people attending. The event is for engineers of all levels of experience and we have found that there is something for everyone who attends. There are 15 different sessions from which you will be able to pick from including
- Diesel and gas standby generator sets and their applications
- Continuous gas systems and combined heat and power (CHP) applications
- Microgrids
- If you need them, you can earn Continuing Education Credits through Minnesota State University
In addition to meeting other engineering professionals from all over North and South America, you will be able tour the factories and meet with the people who design and build the equipment. There are also a lot of fun events planned where you can socialize and ask questions in a relaxed setting. The tentative agenda is as follows:
