ETG canvases the globe through high-profile technology events
April 2017
News
Tradeshows, seminars, member meetings, Plug Fests – last year, the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) travelled to every inhabited continent in the world to further advance EtherCAT technology. This process will continue in 2017, as preparations are in full swing for another exciting year full of highly educational EtherCAT events.
2016 European EtherCAT Plug Fest in Liechtenstein.
With the continually increased distribution of EtherCAT technology, and the introduction of EtherCAT P technology, worldwide demand is rapidly growing for events to support and inform both existing and potential EtherCAT users. The ETG consistently demonstrates how important educational initiatives in the field are within the organisation: In 2016, the association conducted an impressive 48 EtherCAT seminars in 18 countries. Furthermore, the ETG was present with both joint and ETG specific information booths at 15 international trade shows, supported several major EtherCAT developers during six EtherCAT Plug Fests, and educated its members through several regional ETG member meetings.
Since the world’s largest fieldbus organisation continues to grow unabated – with almost 4200 members – the ETG will continue its ambitious schedule of events into 2017. Besides numerous international trade shows, Plug Fests and meetings all over the world, the group also plans to conduct a large number of EtherCAT seminar series, also known as EtherCAT roadshows.
Scheduled event dates and locations, participation opportunities, along with other detailed information about each event can be found in the events section on www.ethercat.org
