Judging by the packed auditorium, most registered users did arrive for the event. Attendee numbers are up 15% from the 2006 event.
“We are delighted with the response,” said A&D Manager, Steve Venter. “We have more than 700 people expected at tomorrow night’s Cyber Junkyard Awards Banquet.”

The purpose behind the competition is to acquaint students with a wide range of automation and drives products in order to prepare them for similar types of projects expected of innovative new thinkers in the industry.
