Automation University 2006: a record-breaking success

The success and popularity of Rockwell Automation’s educational programme continues to increase; and the company's recent two–day Automation University held in Amsterdam proved no exception with nearly 400 attendees from around the region.

The goal of Automation University is to give OEMs, manufacturers and System Integrators an overview of the latest developments in automation and information technology through a choice of hands-on sessions and presentations.

Among the topics available were presentations covering the fundamentals of new and existing industry processes and tools such as Ethernet IP, Logix and distributed HMIs. Those looking to hear from one of Rockwell Automation’s partners could also choose from a range of presentations geared towards vertical markets, including automotive and food & beverage.

Almost a third of attendees stayed for both days with 80% of attendees rating the range of topics available as either ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’. 94% agreed the training was directly relevant to the business issues they faced, while 99% of attendees confirmed that the event had either met or exceeded their expectations.

Commenting on the event, Ina de Jong, Manager MarCom & Customer Events at Rockwell Automation, said: “Year after year Automation University proves why it deserves its position as the number one manufacturing event in Europe. One of the things which sets our event apart is the combination of educational and networking opportunities on offer. There really is something for everyone here and the feedback from attendees has been excellent. I am delighted that manufacturers are increasingly viewing Automation University as a must-attend date in the calendar.”

In addition to the event in the Netherlands, Rockwell Automation will be holding Automation University events in:

• Spain, 22nd & 23rd November 2006, Barcelona
• Poland, 6th & 7th December 2006, Warsaw
