Laissez les bon temps rouler!

April 10, 2010

Can you believe it? the 2010 Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition is almost here! It seems like a few months ago we said good bye in Chicago and now we are on the eve of the 2010 T&D Expo. The Crescent City is calling. For the techno-geeks like me, it is the Superbowl, World Series, and March Madness all rolled into one and making it even better is the setting. New Orleans - jazz, Creole cooking and Cajun Cuisine, the French Quarter, and chicory coffee. We have an exhibition floor with just about everything imaginable in the way of technology and business solutions for our industry. Stay tuned blog followers - this is going to be exciting. I plan to do some pre-conference exploring and will report back.
