Engineering & Operations Conference and Expo, Featuring the NEPPA Engineering Roundtable

This year’s E & O conference is scheduled to take place at the Holiday Inn in Boxboro, Mass., on May 14 and 15. We encourage General Foremen, lineworkers and General Managers to attend this annual event that brings together the latest in products and technology for our municipal membership. On the 14th, in addition to the exhibits, there will be an opportunity for our members to be kept up to date on the issues of cyber security, hoisting license requirements, metering and revenue protection, and LED lighting.

During the afternoon and in addition to the vendor booths, there will be a demonstration on ropes followed by a presentation of Storm Soldiers, a short film about the "men who all make it happen" in what is a job constantly listed in the top 10 for most dangerous.

We’ll wrap up the day with raffles and a reception featuring ex Red Sox Lou Merloni who will sign autographs and stay for pictures.

On Thursday the 15th, there will be a safety summit and roundtable discussion focused on OSHA's federal & state purview's in relation to municipal utilities. This will run concurrently with the Engineering Roundtable. Steve Collier, VP of Business Development at Milsoft Utility Solutions, will keep our Engineers current on "the Rewards of Integrating Metering, Outage Management, SCADA and Other Technologies in Today’s Public Power Market."
