From my stack of email, I received notice that the Emerson Exchange registration is now open for this year’s event September 29 through October 3 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Washington, DC. Early-bird registration lasts until August 18th, which saves 25% over full conference price.

Although not yet final, check out the presentations, short courses and workshops currently slated. A final list will be available in early July. It’s quite an impressive list already, so if you want to take a closer look, I recommend downloading the spreadsheet version for easier sorting and searching.

The name Emerson Exchange comes from it’s single biggest value for most folks. That is, the exchange of ideas and expertise among automation professionals, Emerson and other automation suppliers, trade editors and analysts.

The email invitation did a nice job of previewing the tracks with some highlighted sessions. There is pretty much something for everyone.
