IR/INFO 2014 a Huge Success!

 
 

Burlington, NJ February 1, 2014 – Infraspection Institute’s IR/INFO conference was recently held in New Orleans, LA. IR/INFO 2014 marks the 25th anniversary for the advanced training conference, technical symposium and technology expo. IR/INFO was attended by infrared thermographers, PdM technologists, and building inspection professionals from around the world who enjoyed four days of networking, learning, and fun in a relaxed and professional atmosphere.

news-02-17-14-photo03Jim Seffrin, Director of Infraspection Institute, states, “We were very pleased with this year’s IR/INFO conference. With 5 short courses and 24 technical presentations, this year’s conference covered a broad array of infrared applications, new equipment and technologies, home and building inspections, and current legal issues. We thank our exhibitors, our speakers and all who attended and helped to make this year’s conference one of our best ever.”

Co-sponsored by Temperatures.com, United Infrared, and Maintenance Technology magazine, this year’s conference also featured the latest in infrared imagers and software from several manufacturers. Sunday evening’s Mardi Gras party was a big hit with door prizes going to several lucky winners. Door prizes were graciously donated by Thermasearch, FLIR Systems Inc., UE Systems, United Infrared, IRINFO.ORG, and Maintenance Technology Magazine.

The two-hour narrated cruise provided a unique view of the City and other points of interest along the big river. The cruise also featured a visit to the historic Chalmette Battlefield where the 1815 Battle of New Orleans took place.

Following the reception several attendees strolled to the French Quarter to enjoy local cuisine at the city’s famed restaurants. After dinner, attendees visited well known attractions including Preservation Hall, Jackson Square, Café Du Monde, and several of the nightclubs along Bourbon Street.

news-01-31-15-photo7First time attendee and speaker Ben Hixson had this to say about his first IR/INFO experience: “This conference is a tremendous learning opportunity for the business and technical sides of the industry. It is a great opportunity to meet with industry peers.”

Return guest Dave Dispoto, an Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographer, offered the following: “It’s not often that you get to have personal face-to-face conversations with so many highly respected industry leaders all in one place. Priceless!”

news-02-17-14-photo07Alan Kowalik of Central Texas Thermal Imaging added, “Great conference – a must for all thermographers. Conference presentations gave me a wealth of information to expand and improve my business.” Jim Seffrin concludes: “Plans for Infraspection’s next IR/INFO event are already well underway. IR/INFO 2015 will be held at Harrah’s Hotel in New Orleans, LA January 18 – 21, 2015. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year for another fun-filled and informative event.”
