  • Asset owners, regulators, educators, and interested engineers to increase awareness of issues significant in the field and discuss how they are being handled;
  • Earthing practitioners, past earthing course attendees, and people new to the field to get together and share experiences;

Suppliers and consultants to showcase their capabilities and products.
