The second annual Long Island Power Electronics Symposium & Exhibits was held on 2018 November 8 from noon to 8 PM at the Hauppauge Radisson located at 110 Motor Parkway, Hauppauge LI. All area professionals involved in all sectors of power electronics were invited.
At the event, 43 companies showcased their products and services in a 41-table exhibit hall packed with attendees, while two technical lecture tracks took place in separate chambers. After a complimentary networking lunch, the lectures were kicked off with a keynote address by Timur Shaftan, Accelerator Division Director at BNL, where he introduced us to the world's brightest synchrotron light source that supports 1,300 scientific experiments each year.
The official attendance count at the Symposium was 432, including lecturers, exhibitors and general attendees.
