UPDATES
Keeping abreast of the latest developments prepares you to seize
opportunities and deal effectively with the challenges facing our
industry. Plan to attend these two premier PES meetings!
2003 PES General Meeting - July 13-17, Toronto, Ontario Canada,
The theme for this year's meeting is "empowering ideas?transforming
leading edge thinking into practical solutions." Exchange the latest
information and ideas on vital issues and developments in electrical
power engineering with practicing power engineers and academics from
around the world. Technical tracks include: Asset Management; Risk
Management; Telecommunication, Information & Control; Industrial Power
Distribution; Developments in Power Engineering Technologies.
Also take advantage of outstanding technical tours, social events,
and companion activities, including the Kids' Klub. The meeting will be
held at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in the heart of Toronto's most vibrant
districts. We are proud that the meeting is hosted by Toronto Hydro
Corporation. For additional information, registration and housing forms,

2003 Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exposition September
7-12, Dallas Texas USA
Given the dynamic nature of our business, there has never been a
more crucial time for T and D professionals to gather and to listen,
learn, and share information. In addition to a complete schedule of
technical sessions, approximately 500 exhibiting companies will present
their equipment, products, and services utilizing almost 200,000 square
feet of continuous floor space.
Evidence of the rapidly changing industry will be found here with
the growing number and diversity of first-time exhibiting companies, and
the increasing number of first-time exhibitors representing newly-formed
businesses in the power energy world. This is one conference no
decision-maker in the industry should miss! For more information for
attendees or exhibitors, registration, housing and more, visit

* The Emerging Technology Coordinating Committee will test a new
technical session format at the PES General Meeting to be held 13-17
July 2003 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The objective of the new
format is to endeavor to bring new and emerging technology to the
attention of the power engineering community in a rapid and less
formal fashion. No formal paper is required for the session.
Typically, the ETCC would be looking for presentations with an
emphasis on new technology or a new direction for an existing
technology, rather than embellishments of or extensions to existing
technologies.

PES Member Digital Library
PES Transactions: New Options and Bonuses for 2003
As a direct result of member requests for electronic access to IEEE
PES information, the society has developed the IEEE Power Engineering
Society Digital Library (PES DL) which allows members on-line electronic
access through IEEE Xplore to the full text of every article in IEEE
Transactions on Energy Conversion, IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery
and IEEE Transactions on Power Systems since 1988.
* For 2003, PES members may subscribe to the PES Digital Library--all
three PES transactions including all past issues back to 1988 in
digital-only format--for only (student for ). Bonus: on-line access
to all available IEEE Power Engineering Society Conference
Proceedings published since 1988--tens of thousands of pages--are
included as well. more Information
* Or, if you prefer the transactions in print, you may subscribe to
one, two or all three PES transactions. As a bonus, receive on-line
