France: CIGRE announces a reorganisation of its 2020 signature Paris event into a digital e-session in 2020.
The planned in-person August 2020 event offering ‘the leading global event for sharing power system expertise’ is now scheduled for August 2021 as a special Centennial Session, with similar format as previous sessions (e.g., plenaries, tutorials, poster sessions, technical exhibition).
CIGRE, formed in 1921, will celebrate its 100th Anniversary in 2021 with this Centennial celebration held at the Palais des Congrès venue in Paris, France in August.
For their e-session 2020, in late August and early September, CIGRE will offer critical content from the 2020 Session digitally. At a time when professionals need access to the latest thinking from their worldwide community, CIGRE consider this e-session vital. They will use the webinar technology to deliver the event in digital format.
On 22 April, CIGRE will be releasing more details on the 2020 e-session and the 2021 Centennial Session. Then ultimately, full programme details will follow on session.cigre.org.
The details in April will include an overview of content, options for those who have registered for 2020, and special offers for registering for both the 2020 and 2021 Sessions. They will also outline the plans and background thinking for future sessions.
