Australia Announces Global Forum
The PROFIBUS Association of Australia (PAA) is delighted to announce that they will, for the first time, be hosting the Global PI Chairmen’s meeting in May next year in Sydney. This event will see some of the world’s leading experts visit their shores and it would be un-Australian not to take advantage of their presence. Therefore you are invited to an unprecedented industry event, dubbed “Forward Thinking”. What can be said already is that it will be about the future of network technology and how global and international companies can contribute to shape our the automation industry!
