ISA CONFERENCE 2019 OVERVIEW

CONFERENCE FEATURES:• Keynote presentations twice a day from top industry leaders

• Two full days of technical presentations and panel discussions

• 40+ speakers offering sessions geared towards the application of technology, equipment and knowledge to provide solutions to real-world problems

The theme this year is “Empowering Automation Occupations” and towards that end the committee has gathered a range of papers to help every member of the automation community increase their skills and knowledge in key areas of change in our continuously evolving industry.

We have arranged each day to start with a keynote providing focus on the three tracks being presented during the remaining seven sessions.

The sessions have been arranged to maximize your ability to customize the conference to your needs with the ability to move from one presentation to the next across the multiple tracks. This not only allows you to improve your skill sets but also interact with a broader range of colleagues during the numerous shorter breaks and question/answer periods, or hallway conversations stimulated by the talks themselves.

Since 2015, ISA Calgary Show has offered a two-day technical conference run in conjunction with the exposition. The conference creates a platform for automation professionals to learn from real-world scenarios related to implementation, share lessons about planning, project management and successful ROI and to keep pace with current technology and trends in an ever-changing industry.

MAIN TOPICS OF DISCUSSION

Process MeasurementsTopics in the often overlooked but important Process

Measurements track on April 9 include how IIOT can and

will affect field measurements in the future, important

considerations in selecting final control elements and

analytical sensors to improve process control and

environmental monitoring for operations from single

wellhead, through the gathering system and processing to

the distribution pipelines.

Engineering Design ConstructionThe Engineering Design Construction track looks at how

the role of the engineering firm of the future will need to

involve incorporating new technologies while maintaining

a connection with existing / legacy facilities from physical

connections, through the control system and operator

interface to how to execute these complex projects most

efficiently.

CybersecurityWith the increased digitalization and integration between

business and control systems across our industry,

Cybersecurity is no longer optional. The Cybersecurity track

provides a blend of presentations on how to implement OT

projects as well as integrate them with IT systems to prepare

for the potential offered by IIOT.

Hydrocarbon ProcessingAll our efforts are about how to apply automation and control

technologies to our processes. Here in Alberta most of those

processes are hydrocarbon based where the measurement

principles discussed in day one are used controlling and

monitoring the integrity of our facilities with the objective of

maximizing performance.

Safety SystemsSafety and safety systems are being applied more regularly

in a range of process industries. However, applying these

systems requires compliance with international standards

that are not always easy to understand. The five presentations

and panel help you provide a better understanding of how to

manage the risks and processes to apply this technology.

EnvironmentUsing a range of technologies to manage fugitive emissions

for monitoring and maintaining the environment as well as

associated new Alberta regulations in an understandable way.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HOURS

Informal ActivityInformal activities are usually shorter in duration and do not involve

any evaluation, but nevertheless expand your knowledge, skills and

judgment.

They include:

• self-directed study

• attendance at conferences and industry trade shows

• seminars, technical presentations, talks and workshops (if half a

day or less)

• attendance at meetings of technical, professional or managerial

associations or societies

• structured discussion of technical or professional issues with

one’s peers

One hour of informal activity equals one PDH.

A maximum of 30 PDHs per year may be claimed in this category.

Formal ActivityYou should strive to include some formal activities in your continuing

professional development program. Formal activities are often for

academic credit and may include an evaluation process. Where there is

no evaluation, credit may be claimed in this category for activities that

are over half a day in length.

For example, formal activities include:

• professional development programs, courses and seminars

• courses offered by universities, technical institutes, colleges,

suppliers, employers or technical societies

• courses offered in traditional classroom settings, by

correspondence, by video or online

One hour of course attendance equals one PDH.

One CEU (for courses offering Continuing Education Units) equals 10

PDHs.

A maximum of 30 PDHs per year may be claimed in this category.
