Pictures From Power-Gen Europe 2012
You go to Power-Gen Europe to interface with exhibitors and speakers. There are digital substitutes but since we are humans and not robots, we want the personal contact. So the least we can do is take a few pictures for those of you who are looking for us to report on the event. Between Power-Gen Europe and ACHEMA in the last two weeks, we conducted over 200 interviews with accompanying pictures. Here are some of them from Cologne.
