FLIR Systems launches InfraMation 2005

APRIL 14--FLIR Systems Inc. (N. Billerica, MA) has launched InfraMation 2005 (Oct. 17--21, 2005, in Las Vegas, NV; www.inframation.org)--an annual conference for infrared-camera end users and thermography professionals. InfraMation is designed for anyone seeking innovative new ways to reduce costs, improve worker safety, and optimize productivity by averting shutdowns and extending the life of capital equipment using infrared thermography.

The 2005 conference is anticipated to have the largest number of attendees, speakers, and presenters ever. Each year, dozens of abstracts are submitted for presentation at the conference and must be reviewed and curtailed to the 30-40 that are presented at the event. These represent the nation's best practices for infrared thermography.

"In this, the sixth year of InfraMation, we are really hitting our stride--providing thermographers with the most relevant information in their industry--condensed into one educational, yet enjoyable week," states David Francoeur, FLIR Systems director of marketing.

The conference provides opportunities for those just looking into infrared cameras and to experienced infrared thermographers, as well. Novice show attendees will explore infrared camera selection and basic techniques, while professional thermographers will benefit from the ability to renew and maintain their thermography certification by attending InfraMation clinics and will be challenged with many new thermography ideas and methodologies. Clinics for the 2005 conference cover diverse fields from plant operations to scientific and medical infrared applications including R&D, medical/health care, and equine/veterinary thermography.
