Update – March 15, 2022 – IEEE PES T&D Expo Reminder

Just a reminder that 2022 ISGT NA is co-located with the 2022 IEEE PES T&D Expo and ISGT attendees will have full access to the T&D Expo exhibits and presentations.  Details about the T&D Expo are available at its website.

Update – January 16, 2002 – Conference Delay and Change of Venue

The organizing committee has exciting news regarding ISGT NA 2022. The PES and Conference leadership have decided to co-locate this year’s conference at the award-winning, and largest conference in the PES portfolio, the T&D Conference and Exposition!  This change is in response to the ongoing surge of infections from the Omicron variant of COVID-19 and concerns many of you have expressed regarding safety of travel, conference attendance and travel restrictions.  Our goal is to be abundantly cautious and allow additional time for travel restrictions and concerns to lessen.

ISGT NA 2022 will now take place from April 24 – 28, 2022 in New Orleans, LA at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.  The ISGT organizing committee is working closely with our PES T&D counterparts to coordinate the two events.  We will maintain a separate ISGT identity with space specifically dedicated to the ISGT conference.  We will have a separate registration and are happy to tell you that ISGT attendees will also be able to participate in the PES T&D conferences and exhibition space. Your ISGT registration will provide you access to both conferences at no additional charge. When so many things are being taken away, we are pleased to give something more to our valued ISGT NA attendees.

With this change, there are several benefits to ISGT attendees that are noteworthy:

• Though ISGT NA will have physically separate meeting space from T&D; the ISGT NA registered attendees will have full access to the T&D Exhibition floor and other T&D events with no additional charge. Likewise, T&D registered attendees will have full access to ISGT NA.
• The registration fees for ISGT NA are being reduced to match the T&D conference where they are higher and remain unchanged where they are lower. Those who have already registered at the higher ISGT NA rate will receive a refund for the difference.
• There will be expanded networking opportunities for ISGT attendees through joint receptions with the T&D meeting.
• This is a huge opportunity for the ISGT attendees to also attend T&D technical sessions and take advantage of the excellent technical program that the local utility, Entergy, has put together.

Please note that ISGT NA 2022 does not accommodate remote live participation. That has not changed with the new conference venue in April in New Orleans. We know that some authors and panelists had indicated their inability to attend the ISGT event in Washington D.C in February, along with travel restriction justification from their government agencies or employer organizations. We had agreed that for the papers to be published on IEEE Explore, and for the panel presentations to be played during the panel sessions, those authors and panelists must (1) record their respective 5-minute and 15-minute presentations following the instructions communicated to them individually, (2) upload the videos to the conference website to locations identified for them, and (3) pay at least the on-day registration fee for the day of their presentation. With the change of venue, we are hoping some of those authors and panelists may get relief from travel restrictions imposed by their governments and/or organizations, and will be able to attend the conference in person.  Should you fall in this category, please advise us as soon as possible. Otherwise, please proceed with items (1), (2), and (3) above, and let us know if you have any questions (please note that the deadline for uploading the pre-recorded videos is extended to March 28, 2022).

We are still working on the details of co-locating ISGT with IEEE T&D in April in New Orleans.  Please bear with the ISGT NA organizing committee as we work out the details in coordination with our IEEE T&D counterparts.

Update – November 15, 2021 – Conference Registration Now Open

Notification of Paper Session Acceptance: October 31, 2021

The Power & Energy Society values diversity and inclusion across all activities.  This diversity and inclusion will lead to more creative, interesting and representative scientific and engineering information within the electric power and energy field of interest.  Authors who anticipate inability to travel to a PES sponsored conference because of a government-imposed travel restriction are still encouraged to submit papers. Such papers will be reviewed and accepted on their own merit for publication in Conference Proceedings, without any knowledge of the author’s travel restriction. Within one week of paper acceptance notification, travel-restricted authors must notify the Technical Program Chair of the conference with proof of their restriction. Substitute presenters may be possible or, depending on conference resources, other accommodations may be available, such as a remote presentation or pre-recorded video.
