For the first time too, Honeywell has invited trade journalists from the Asia Pacific to attend.

Norman Frederick Moore, the Minister for Mines and Petroleum, Fisheries and Electoral Affairs for Western Australia state, will be giving an overview of the economy and the resources sector at the event.

Honeywell’s senior executives sharing their expertise with delegates include Mark Zyskowski, VP Global Sales, Jason Urso, VP Technology, Tony Cosgrove, VP Sales Asia Pacific and Joe Spirito, Strategic Relationships Director. Adrian Fielding will be speaking on industrial security, Rob Brendel on energy efficiency, Stacey Kelly on cyber security, Ashish Gaikward on advanced solutions, and Geoff Taverner on oil and gas.
