The annual Rockwell Automation Software Technical Education (RSTechED) conference will return to Melbourne in 2013, bringing together software technical experts, system integrators, machine builders and end-users at the St Kilda Novotel from 20-22 February.

Held over three-days, the global event will build on last year’s theme of Inspire, Educate, Innovate: Create Your Competitive Advantage. It will combine software-focused hands-on laboratory sessions with interactive presentations.

With more than 40 different interactive sessions, RSTechED will demonstrate the full range of Rockwell Automation Software with a focus on how manufacturing intelligence empowers individuals on all levels to make informed decisions that lead to increased operational efficiency, improved business agility and more sustainable productivity.

“Customers will be able to experience all of the Rockwell Automation Software suite and learn how to optimise their business,” says Rockwell Automation commercial specialist Lucas Maw.

RSTechED provides a forum for customers and industry experts to network at an event which is focused on software education.

“This is an opportunity for delegates to learn how to leverage automation investments, talk with technical specialists and share knowledge,” says Rockwell Automation software product manager Dean Tresidder.

With the latest Rockwell Automation products and technology solutions available in a classroom environment, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of how the integrated architecture system is enabling companies across the globe to be the best they can be.

Attendees are encouraged to take advantage of the discounted price for earlybird registrations, which are available until 25 January 2013.
