United in Technology: T&D and This Magazine [From the Editor]

THE 2010 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Conference and Exhibition will take place 20-22 April at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. This event is surely the premier meeting of our Society. It is therefore hardly a coincidence that this issue of IEEE Power and Energy Magazine features articles that relate to the technology that will be on display in the exhibit hall and featured in the technical sessions. The meeting will host over 500 exhibitors displaying their wares that feature cutting-edge technology, and it will be complemented by an opening session that focuses on major issues confronting the global power industry, by five super sessions devoted to topics of universal interest, by multiple paper and panel technical sessions, and by a number of social events. Detailed conference information as well as meeting registration and hotel reservation forms are available at the conference Web site: http://www.ieeet-d.org.
