OVERVIEW
Paper abstracts are invited for the Electricity Engineers’ Association 2018 Conference to be held in Auckland on 20-22 June 2018.
The EEA Conference is the premier engineering/technical event for the New Zealand electricity supply industry and the 2017 conference attracted over 1,000 delegates and visitors.
The 2018 Conference will bring an exciting mix of keynote addresses, technical papers and interactive panel sessions focussed on ‘Engineering, Technology and Innovation’.
Conference speakers will come from across the supply chain and represent the diversity of people, knowledge and technology that are shaping the future of the electricity supply industry in New Zealand and globally.
Technology, the political and regulatory environment, changing customer behaviours, evolving market forces and safety are some of the many drivers for change in the power industry.

WHY YOU AND YOUR STAFF SHOULD OFFER A CONFERENCE PAPER IN 2018
The writing and presentation of technical papers is an important part of every person’s professional development and training. It provides the best opportunity to share your experience and innovative work among enthusiastic and knowledgeable industry engineers.
The EEA Conference gives the opportunity to profile and share information on new engineering knowledge, practices or technology; and a platform for a company or individual to get recognition as an engineering leader.
University and Polytech students are encouraged to submit paper proposals. EEA has a strong commitment to the future development of our industry engineering students and to integrate student learning with the Conference experience. Student papers keep industry informed on current research projects, whilst the Conference provides the opportunity for them to meet industry engineers and employers.
