INVITATION TO INTELEC 2002 IN MONTREAL

On behalf of the INTELEC management committees, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 24th International Telecommunications Energy Conference in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on September 29th through October 3rd, 2002. Our conference has been growing every year since its inception and is recognized as “The Event” for technical exchange specific to power systems applications in the telecommunications industry. INTELEC brings together the key players in the user and supplier communities of wireline, wireless, cable and broadband networks and provides the forum for users, system engineers, manufacturers and product designers to exchange ideas and review the latest industry innovations.

The 2002 conference theme is Reliable Energy: The Driving Force Behind Dependable Communications, a subject we believe to be of crucial interest to telecom operators in the current environment of critical energy shortages on the utility grid. The conference focuses on virtually all aspects of power for telecommunications systems, including conversion systems, protection and distribution, battery reserve systems, uninterruptible power systems and alternate energy sources and storage systems. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the field through more than 130 technical papers, several lively workshop/panel discussions, a series of technical tutorials and exhibits of the latest equipment and solutions from over 100 industry suppliers.

Exhibits and technical sessions will be held in the Palais des Congrès de Montréal, a world class convention center within easy, indoor walking distance from our conference hotels, the Delta Centre-Ville, the Hotel Inter-Continental Montréal and the Holiday Inn Select.

Our host city, Montreal, is an unforgettable cosmopolitan experience. The world’s second largest French-speaking city, it is renowned for its mixture of old European charm and 21st century modernity. Our Conference Center is strategically located between historical and picturesque “Old Montreal” and the exciting downtown Montreal area, providing easy access to hotels, restaurants, museums, attractions and shopping – all our participants could ask for, for work or play. Our social program will provide ample opportunity for participants and their guests to take advantage of their visit to unforgettable Montreal.

Don’t miss this important opportunity to meet with all the key players in the global telecommunications power systems market at INTELEC 2002 in Montréal!

Au plaisir de vous voir – see you there!
