Dear T&D World University Participants & Supporters:

Thank you for your support of the T&D World University 2008 event in Dallas!

These are interesting times to say the least. Customer behaviors and trends are changing at the speed of light….no one knows that better than you…and live events are no exception.

T&D World is constantly striving to evolve and improve, bringing our best game to the table for our supporters. But the market is changing fast, and more consumers are looking to receive their information online, through web-based events, videos, blogs, e-newsletters, forums, and the like. Especially now, given the economic conditions - companies are pulling back on training and travel for their employees. We’re confident that we’ll see a turnaround for 2010.

Based on this, T&D World University will not be held in 2009, but re-evaluated for 2010 with the needs of the industry in mind.

In the meantime, here’s how you can keep connected to the event and the industry at large.

1. Check out online course offerings available for purchase from the 2008 event.
2. Submit a speaking proposal for 2010 live-event – OR – recommend an Online Training Course for 2009.
3. Keep yourself in the know by checking out the entire T&D World franchise of products, featuring T&D World magazine and enewsletters:
   • Energizing Information Systems & Automation
   • Projects in Progress
   • Test, Monitor & Control
   • Transmission & Distribution World's eTrain http://subscribe.tdworld.com/subscribe.cfm?tc=NNWEB
   
   
4. Budget now for sponsoring or attending the 2010 live-event.
   We want to thank each of you for your time and ongoing support. I welcome the opportunity to discuss any questions, comments or concerns you may have about this T&D World University announcement.
   
   Kind Regards,
