Global Symposium on High-Power Electromagnetics: Register by July 4 and SAVE!

AT&T Conference Center, 1900 University Ave., Austin, Texas, United States, 78705

OVERVIEW The GlobalEM 2024 Symposium is unique in that it brings together international experts in high-power electromagnetics. This Symposium started as a small gathering organized on Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, by the late Dr. Carl Baum as the first Nuclear EMP (electromagnetic pulse) Meeting (NEM) in 1973. Since 1978, the SUMMA Foundation, a non-profit organization, has sponsored the Symposium. In 1994, the Symposium was held in Bordeaux, France, as EUROEM and subsequently rotated between Europe and North America as EUROEM and AMEREM, respectively. In 2015, the Symposium was organized in Jeju, South Korea, as ASIAEM. Beginning in 2022, the series was renamed GlobalEM and will continue to rotate annually among North America, Europe, and Asia. GlobalEM 2024 includes social/networking events, invited speakers, numerous technical papers, an exhibition, and a technical tour! AT&T Conference Center is ideally located in downtown Austin, near the University of Texas at Austin campus, restaurants and shops, as well as Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. A block of guest rooms have been reserved at the AT&T Conference Center at a discounted group rate. GENERAL INFORMATION This Symposium is organized by the SUMMA Foundation. The working language of the Symposium is English. There will be a technical exhibition during the week, a Welcome Reception on the evening of Sunday, 14 July, a Gala Dinner on Wednesday, 17 July, and a (https://www.globalemconf.com/technical-tour.html) of ETS-Lindgren's world headquarters on Friday, 19 July.

Distinguished Lecture: The Queen Isabela Causeway Bridge Collapse Detection

Bldg: Office Evolution, 1580 Logan St, Denver, Colorado, United States, 80203

On September 14, 2001, an errant barge damaged the bridge between Port Isabel and Padre Island in south Texas. Five people died when they drove off the opened bridge in the dark. After the structure was repaired and reopened, James Mercier was tasked with designing and installing a way of warning drivers that the bridge had been damaged. The system restored local confidence in the repaired structure.James will be travelling to the Mile High City all the way from Texas to share this story with us, and explain both how the Electrical and the Traffic Engineering involved to make this project functional. The event is a part of the IEEE Distinguished Lecturer program, which offers a list of renowned and exceptional lecturers who each possess specialist knowledge within their field.PDH certificate will be provided to attendees upon request.Food and beverages will be provided.Speaker(s): Mr. James J.
