Take this opportunity to renew old acquaintances and meet more members of the industrial and commercial power systems community. The Challenger Learning Center is a wonderful place of learning and socializing, where you can experience the science and engineering of space exploration and visit the IMAX Theater and planetarium. Enjoy a complimentary light supper buffet of hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Attendee or Companion badges are required for entrance to the reception. The Challenger Learning Center is a two block walk from the DoubleTree Hotel. Limited transportation will be available for those that need assistance.

First time attendees to the I&CPS Technical Conference are invited to a complimentary breakfast. A short orientation session will familiarize first-time attendees with the I&CPS Department and the technical conference. The session will provide an understanding of the various types of technical sessions, committee meetings, and social events. At the end of the session, the newcomer should be able to navigate confidently through the conference and obtain maximum value from the experience.

As part of IAS's recognition of extraordinary achievements in the technical and professional areas of industrial and commercial power systems, you are cordially invited to stop in and congratulate the IEEE Fellows elected to the class of 2010 who are members of IAS during the reception held in their honor.

Presenters, authors, panelists and session chairs must meet at the complementary author breakfast the day of their session to discuss session arrangements. Attendance is required. Please be there and bring a brief biography that the session chair can use in introducing you prior to your presentation. Bring your presentation in Power Point on a memory stick for loading onto the session laptop.

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory offers the highest magnetic fields for use by the international community of scientific visitors. Many of the magnets and experimental techniques are highly specialized, yet broadly applicable to research in physics, materials science, chemistry, biochemistry, biology and even biomedicine. The magnets are designed and built right here at the lab, and many are unrivalled anywhere in the world. These magnets attract more than 1,000 visiting scientists from across the globe. The scientists and technicians establish the experimental instrumentation and techniques that enable the scientific productivity of the labs user programs.

The Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) is a multidisciplinary research center organized to perform basic and applied research to advance the field of power systems technology. CAPS emphasis is on application to electric utility, defense, and transportation, as well as, developing an education program to train the next generation of power systems engineers. The research focuses on electric power systems modeling and simulation, power electronics and machines, control systems, thermal management, high temperature superconductor characterization and electrical insulation research.

In a new world of deregulating energy markets, environmental focus, and converging technologies, Danfoss Turbocor's mission is to redefine lifetime operating costs for commercial HVACR applications. The enterprise is dedicated to the design, manufacture, marketing and support of the world's most efficient commercial refrigerant compressors. The result is the world's first totally oil-free compressor specifically designed for HVACR. With its breakthrough convergence of industrially proven component technologies largely sourced from the aerospace industry, Turbocor's compressors promise new horizons in energy efficiency and lifetime operating costs for mid-range chiller and rooftop HVACR applications.

Downtown Tallahassee was laid out with a vision. William DuVal, Governor of the Florida Territory, planned this quarter square mile city with a grid of streets interspersed with public squares. The central square was site of the capitol; four other squares provided open green space. A 200-foot dirt clearing surrounded the city to protect it from the Indian attack. Stores and offices lined Monroe Street from Park Avenue to Pensacola Street. Adams Street had Rascal Yard, the city Market.

After a devastating fire in 1843, the City required that new buildings along Monroe Street be constructed of brick. Rebuilding was quick, and downtown was transformed. Despite numerous fires and economic recessions over the following decades, this area remained the city's commercial and civic center. After a period of decline, downtown is now being revitalized. Stroll the streets, enjoying the fine architecture, restaurants and specialty shops of historic Tallahassee.

Depart Tallahassee at 8:30 am for stops in Apalachicola, St. George Island, Carrabelle, and Wakulla Springs. Shopping for antiques and play on the beaches or take a glass-bottom boat tour to see one of the deepest and purest natural springs.

The Tallahassee Museum is located on Tallahassee's southwest side of town on the shores of beautiful Lake Bradford. Explore the intersection of North Florida's history, nature, and wildlife. See amazing native animals and rare historic buildings and beautiful natural scenery.

A visit to Mission San Luis transports you back in time. Your destination is a community where Apalachee Indians and newcomers from Spain live in close proximity drawn together by religion as well as military and economic purpose.
