Users Group Conference

The annual CDEGS Users’ Group Conference, which was established in 1991, provides a medium for technical exchange among SES Software users and SES experts. We endeavor to enhance our engineering expertise and exchange valuable knowledge in the field of grounding and electromagnetic effects. Both the participants and SES representatives provide valuable technical presentations based on user experience in the software and enhancements.

Due to the technical level of the presentations provided at the CDEGS Users’ Group meeting, SES offers 2.5 CEU (Continuing Education Units) or 25 PDH (Professional Development Hours) to each participant.

Participation in the meeting is open to CDEGS users who are employed or contracted by a company that maintains at least one current license of the CDEGS software.

The executive committee of the CDEGS Users’ Group would like to invite participants to register and join us for the next meeting, whether you attend online or in person. Furthermore, you are invited to submit a technical paper on work you have done with the CDEGS Software on topics such as power system grounding, AC interference, electromagnetic effects, lightning, safety etc. Whether theoretical or practical, the submissions for publication in the official CDEGS Conference proceedings will be an asset.
