To facilitate networking, the Symposium begins with a Welcome Reception on Sunday evening, July 14. A second social event, the Gala Banquet, will be held on Wednesday evening, July 17. The social events will showcase the Southern hospitality and cuisine for which Austin is well known, including legendary Texas barbecue and Tex-Mex Queso – a local favorite of hot cheesy dip often made with chopped peppers. Symposium attendees will surely appreciate Austin’s diverse and expansive food culture with menus available to please every palate!

The Symposium technical program concludes on Friday, July 19, with a Technical Tour of ETS-Lindgren’s world headquarters in Cedar Park, Texas, just north of Austin. During the tour, participants will learn about the company’s manufacturing capabilities for products supporting the R&D relevant to GlobalEM 2024 Symposium attendees. Highlights will include touring ETS-Lindgren’s expanded production line for radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) / HEMP power, signal (sensor), data, and control line filters. The RF Filter product line includes ETS-Lindgren’s HEMP / EMP Commercial and Defense Non-Tempest Powerline Filters with Red Edge™ Technology to protect against damage to electronic equipment and loss of data caused by sudden and intense EMP and IEMI.
