    The conference will feature several networking opportunities and special events for attendees.

    Presentations, tutorials, and papers for the WBF 2008 North American Conference will focus on automation standards for process and factory operations. Attendees will hear from industry professionals and learn how the standards they work with each day have positively impacted automation and manufacturing. The conference will highlight best practices, lessons learned, and those technologies that are critical to the reliability and automation of batch and continuous manufacturing processes.

    WBF will provide a bus to transport conference attendees to the airport and, for those planning to attend INTERPHEX later in the week, to the Philadelphia Convention Center.
