11. 2014 P&E Forum – Assorted Complaints
2014 And 2015 Forums At Exact Same Time As IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting; Avoid In 2016
Forum 360 Sessions Were Self-Competitive – Two Simultaneous Panels Throughout The Conference
Poster Sessions Received With Mixed Results, “Can’t Have Posters Be 2nd Class”
Registration Fee For Retires Went From $50 In 2013 To $350 In 2014 With No Communication
No Provided Lunch On Monday; No Food Available At Venue And No Off-Site Options Identified
Underwhelming Acknowledgement Of JPC 50th Anniversary
“What Happened To IECEC?” (Next Chart)
P&E Group Report – August, 2014

12. A Few Broader Considerations From P&E 2014
Will We Maintain Individual Conferences As Forums Evolve?
In Development Of New Event Model, Concept Was To Maintain Individual Conferences Within Forum Umbrella, Promote “Villages,” Etc.
At P&E 204, Sense Of Constituent JPC & IECEC Was Lost, With Significant Negative Feedback From Energy Community (IECEC Attendees)
TCs Are Moving Out On Virtual Committee Meetings
Largest P&E TC, Liquid Propulsion, Affirmed Format Of Face-To- Face Meeting In July And Virtual Meeting In January; January Meeting Is NOT At SciTech Due To IT Infrastructure Challenge
We Are Continuing To Erode Rather Than Affirm The “Joint” ASME/SAE/ASEE) Part Of The Legacy JPC
