| The 41st CIGRE Session will be held in Paris in 2006, bringing together
some 2500 delegates. The Session is made up of the main Conference
with its discussion meetings and round tables, and the Technical
Exhibition to complement the discussion on the technical papers. The exhibition layout will be the same as in 2004. This means that there will be the same advantages in terms of access and proximity to the Conference. In 2006, the Exhibition will take place on the 2nd floor, with a larger space providing better service to the exhibitors: an expanded business center and a lounge (with snacks and drinks). A new partner, Pro4events, will be in charge of all operations concerning the Exhibition under the responsibility of CIGRE: concept and layout, research for future exhibitors, contracts concerning exhibition space, decoration. We hope that delegates attending the Session, as well as exhibitors and visitors at the Exhibition, will be fully satisfied. |
