VIII Conference

And this time Córdoba was the site for our VIII Conference on Technical Extension.

On October 4th we organized and carried out a new professional meeting: the VIII Conference on Technical Extension. And that was how Santa Rosa de Calamuchita, in Córdoba, was the destination to receive all collaborators and visitors. More than 170 people said yes to this successful call. After the accreditations (from 09:00) and the welcome offered by Mr. Ricardo González -General Manager of MYEEL- and the words of Mr. Roberto Wiggenhauser -President of the Board of Directors of the Cooperativa Eléctrica de Santa Rosa de Calamuchita- the technical topics were exposed with the first two speakers: Eng. Gustavo Piacentini and Eng. Alejandro Cattonar both from ELSTER.

At the end, a varied and excellent catering for lunch produced the midday break, achieving a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. After the same and after two in the afternoon, the technical talks continued, this time in charge of Eng. Gustavo M. Trillo from GPU-Emdesa and Eng. Ricardo Difrieri from EDENOR.

The end of both presentations gave way, in the middle of the afternoon, to a professional exchange, giving an important added value to the entire technical meeting. Finally (and as is already a style in our meetings) and before a very cordial audience, prizes were raffled as compensation for the attendance and goodwill.

From these lines we also want to thank the people of the Santa Rosa de Calamuchita Cooperative and the technical exhibitors who have put so much good will to make these VIII Conferences a reality. There is also a general applause from the MYEEL team for all those who came to Córdoba to share this day with us. Thank you, good luck and until the next days.
