Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):

There are new security procedures in place for all attendees.

Be sure to preregister in advance for this seminar. Solar Turbines will send you a confirmation email 1-2 days before the event, with a link to a citizenship question and safety video (which must be watched annually). After the video you'll have to answer a couple questions correctly. One question asks the emergency phone number to use at Solar with the correct answer requesting a full phone number; not 911.

If you are unable to pre-register, or register too late to get the Solar Turbines visitor invite, you are still welcome to show up but you will need to wait for Security to check in all registered guests before they can check you in. 

When checking in with Solar Security Guards, you must provide a government issued I.D. (e.g. Drivers License) and initial a login sheet.   All of these steps are required to be a Guest at the Solar facility. 

Thank you to Solar Turbines for the use of their conference room.
