2010 PLEXOS User Group Meeting Events

We are pleased to announce that the 2010 User Group Meeting and training will be October 25-28. This year we will be
fortunate to have Dr. Glenn Drayton with us in person for the User Group Meeting. Dr. Drayton will also be co-teaching the
Intermediate / Advanced Class with Dr. Guo. Glenn is the sole developer of PLEXOS and the owner of Energy Exemplar Ltd
in Australia.  Also, with the recent increase in new users, for the first time we will be offering a second class for those who
are just starting to use PLEXOS, taught by Dr. Wenxiong Huang.
