Instructors will discuss day-to-day challenges and how best to solve them through new and innovative strategies and advances in calibration technology. Workshop participants will benefit from a highly interactive learning approach, providing the practical skills and know-how needed to improve daily maintenance processes and tasks. The day of personalized instruction includes:

• Hands-on temperature and pressure calibration training
• Automated switch-testing demonstrations
• Instrument calibration competitions (with prizes)
• An open forum to ask experts about complex calibrations

“ISA is excited to be co-hosting this unique event with our partner, Beamex,” said Jennifer Infantino Halsey, ISA’s director of marketing & communications. “For several years now, ISA and Beamex have worked together to educate our members, customers and other professionals within the automation community on calibration techniques and technologies. This event is particularly valuable and attractive because it emphasizes hands-on skills training for real-world application and because it’s offered in such a stimulating and fascinating scientific environment.” In addition to offering extensive education programs, a museum of space artifacts and exhibits, and space attractions, the Space Center Houston serves as a gateway for touring the NASA Johnson Space Center. The calibration workshop will conclude at an all-inclusive evening networking reception at TopGolf, a local entertainment and event venue. Each attendee is responsible for his or her travel arrangements and expenses. Beamex is a provider of calibration solutions.
