Users Group Conference

Established in 1991, the CDEGS Users’ Group has organized an annual meeting in various places around the world to provide a medium for technical exchange between SES Software users and SES employees. We endeavor to enhance our engineering expertise and exchange valuable knowledge in the field of grounding and electromagnetic effects. Both the participants and SES representatives provide valuable technical presentations based on user experience in the software and enhancements.

Due to the technical level of the presentations provided at the CDEGS Users’ Group meeting, SES offers CEU (Continuing Education Units) for your professional development.

Participation in the meeting is open to CDEGS users who are employed, or contracted by a company who maintains at least one current license of the CDEGS software.

The executive of the CDEGS Users’ Group would like to invite participants to register and join us at this year's meeting. Furthermore, you are invited to submit a technical paper on work you have done with the CDEGS Software or on related topics such as power system grounding, AC interference, electromagnetic effects, lightning, safety etc. Whether theoretical or practical, the submissions for publication in the official 2013 CDEGS Conference proceedings will be an asset.
