Houston will be the destination of choice this October for automation and control professionals. ISA EXPO 2008, to be held at Houston’s Reliant Center from Tuesday, Oct. 14 to Thursday, Oct. 16, is the best opportunity to see and experience the latest advancements in the field.
ISA EXPO is focused on providing information about today’s technology for the professionals who implement it.

Nagel of The George Washington University will deliver the Rimbach Lecture 2008, “Instrumentation for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions.” Thursday’s presentation, “Feedback Control: How We Learned to Think Negatively in 300 B.C.,” will be given by Dr. John Lienhard of The University of Houston.
