THORNE & DERRICK | EVENT SPONSORS
Due to the outstanding success of the 2022 Earthing Conference UK, IDC Technologies is excited to announce the return to Birmingham in 2023.
Thorne & Derrick are thrilled to be asked once again to be event sponsors!
Do you work in the electrical engineering domain, in the mining, industrial, power, defence, oil & gas, construction, transport, manufacturing, utilities, or renewable energies industry?
We are interested to hear from you.
The upcoming Earthing Conference UK in Birmingham on May 4th & 5th 2023 aim is to demystify the subject of earthing and present the subject in a clear, straightforward manner.
Earthing as a subject has been under-represented over the years and this event will attempt to remedy the gaps in technical knowledge and improve practices in the industry.
The UK & Europe need a unified practical approach to earthing which can be commonly understood and widely applied.
We are seeking a wide range of speakers to cover content outlined in our call for papers document, please click the link to review the extensive range of topics we wish to include into the 2023 conference program.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Speaking allocations are chosen on topic suitability, we welcome you to register your interest today by emailing [email protected] Once your topic is approved, your technical paper and PowerPoint slides will be due six weeks prior to the event.

Conference Manager – IDC Technologies
IDC Events do not allow vendors to ‘sell’ their products in training sessions, instead the focus is on practical applications and solutions – which is, ultimately, the best way to showcase your technologies and engineering skills. In particular, we are seeking case studies, technical content, applications and the newest developments and research in this critical subject.
This event is an excellent opportunity to network with your industry peers, and to gain significant insights into earthing and related electrical safety practices, which are established, new and emerging.
Power Blog
Thorne & Derrick’s POWER Blog is regularly updated with news, projects, videos, technical tips, training information, promotions, webinars, career opportunities and white papers.
We focus on Product Categories: Duct Seals | Cable Cleats | Cable Glands | Electrical Safety | Arc Flash Protection | Cable Jointing Tools | Cable Pulling | Earthing | Feeder Pillars | Cable Joints LV | Joints & Terminations MV HVÂ
