On behalf of all parties involved in arranging and running this event, I wish to thank all the attendees very much indeed for taking the trouble to not only attend this unprecedented seminar but also to contribute with comments and questions over the day.

Some 44 delegates from Kaitaia to Bluff attested to the relevance and importance of the topic to our Industry.  It was evident from all said and reflected upon at the event that the topic of corona and corona management still very much vexes our daily lives in generating, transmitting, distributing, and using electricity in Industrial applications.

We remain committed to help, encourage, and support our Industry in any way we can in this quest and challenge, collectively faced.
