Telecommunications and Data Services are converging at an accelerating rate. The traditional approaches to providing mission critical survivability are expanding beyond robust power and are starting to take advantage of virtualization. The challenges facing the network have not changed. Natural disasters, grid issues, equipment failure, and human error, still pose risks in providing uninterrupted Data and Communications. Our mission in the power community is to understand these threats, and how to mitigate them. This includes, the management of energy distribution, conversion and storage in the new environment of an increasingly virtualized network. In keeping with the selected theme for INTELEC® 2016 – Powering the Software Defined Network – the program committee has developed a technical conference scope that will explore a broad range of topics critical to our industry. At INTELEC® 2016, you will have an opportunity to engage with global leaders and experts in topics like, advanced energy storage and management, DC at various voltages (not just 48 VDC) and AC in datacenters and telecommunications centers, alternative power systems, high conversion efficiency, and interfacing with advanced software controlled networks. We will also include informative tutorials aimed at advances in power management. We will have a student program that will provide a dedicated opportunity for new professionals to share the latest research from academia. Our exhibitor seminar track will provide conference delegates an opportunity for “hands on” preview of key solutions being introduced, offered, or presented at the conference exhibition. I look forward to seeing you in Austin for INTELEC® 2016. Dustin J. Becker INTELEC® 2016 General Chairman If you manufacture, distribute, sell or service products related to telecommunications or computer energy systems, INTELEC® 2016 is the place to make contact with international leaders in the field...
