The New Zealand National Committee (NZNC) of CIGRE welcomes Study Committee B5 (Protection and Automation) to hold its 2017 Annual Meeting and associated Colloquium in Auckland, New Zealand between 11th – 15th September 2017.
(This is to be held alongside two other collocated events i.e. 2017 CIGRE Asia-Oceania Regional Council (AORC) Technical Meeting and the 2017 administrative meetings of CIGRE AORC and CIGRE Administrative Council.)

Apart from the various Working Group meetings, the SC B5 technical conference program will be held over the two days Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th September

The papers are NOT presented during the Preferential Subject Sessions but are available to delegates prior to the meeting as "pre-reading" along with the assigned Special Reporter's summary and "questions arising from the papers".
The conference is totally devoted to the audience presenting prepared short "3 minute" answers to questions previously posed by the Special Reporter..

This is an excellent opportunity for you as an attendee to provide input to the international community of local practices as well as hearing other practices from other local and international delegates.

By attending the event, you not only get the benefit of having the 10-20 papers on each Preferential Subject, but also some 30-60 other Contributions from various delegates
