A Golden Celebration of Innovations and Technologies
Visiting the Past, Examining the Present, and Looking to the FutureOn June 10-15, 2007, ISA will host the 50th POWID Symposium and in partnership with EPRI the 17th Annual Joint ISA POWID/EPRI on Controls and Instrumentation Conference in Pittsburgh, PA. The conference will provide power industry leaders with information on the latest innovations in instrumentation, automation, security and business systems technology.
In 1958, the United States launched its first space satellite, Elvis Presley was inducted into the US Army, and Pan American Airways began regular jet airline service from New York to Paris. In May of that same year, the first Power Instrumentation conference was held in New York City with approximately 50 people in attendance. H. H. Johnson was the General Chairman and W. D. Burns was the Program Chairman. The conference was such a rousing success that it was repeated the following year in Kansas City where the attendance jumped to 235.
Since that time, the Power Division of ISA has held a conference every year at various locations across the USA and Canada. The conference has become an international event with participants from around the world. In 1992, EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) came on board as a co-sponsor of the event. In addition to the technical sessions, the conference also hosts various interest group meetings, ISA Power Plant Standards working group meetings, and vendor exhibits.
To mark the 50th anniversary, the programming committee is planning a number of special events to make this a trip worth remembering:
Sunday night reception
Tuesday night 50th anniversary dinner with entertainement by the VAN-Dells

P.S. The 2007 U.S. Open will be played this year at Oakmont Country Club, Oakmont PA just outside of Pittsburgh on June 14th thru the 17th , which is the weekend after our conference. So you golf enthusiasts might be interested in staying for the Open. Better get your tickets early, supplies are limited. Because of the U.S. open book your hotel rooms early.
