Maybe there really is a Rockwell Automation Retro Encabulator

Rockwell Automation wants you to go to their Automation Fair 2008, Nov. 18-20 in Nashville.

You may be familiar with the popular Rockwell Automation Retro Encabulator. The video’s been floating around the Internet for a long time; I blogged about in March 2007.

I didn’t realize that there really was a company called Rockwell Automation. I knew about Rockwell International, of course. My bad: Rockwell Automation is its spin-off in the industrial controls business. It’s a publicly traded, $5 billion company with 20,000 employees, based in Milwaukee. Whoops.

Here’s what you can do at the Rockwell Automation Fair, according to media info the company sent me today:

The Automation Fair event, hosted by Rockwell Automation, is regarded by customers, media and analysts as a premier industry event. The 2008 event is an exclusive opportunity to hear about the latest success stories and new manufacturing solutions from Rockwell Automation and its partners.

This three-day event is full of information you can use to develop the manufacturing and automation stories that are valuable for your readers. You’ll benefit from the countless opportunities to gather unique industry stories straight from some of the industry’s most experienced and knowledgeable professionals. Engage with leaders who are defining manufacturing’s best practices, and explore the latest technology and service offerings from Rockwell Automation.

Manufacturing Perspectives, a full-day media forum dedicated to convergence, will kick off the Automation Fair event on Tuesday, November 18, at the Gaylord Opryland Complex. As a member of the media, you’ll interact with the representatives of global companies that are implementing the future’s industry-leading innovations today.

The Automation Fair event exhibition, held on Wednesday, November 19 and Thursday, November 20 at Gaylord Opryland Complex, provides an opportunity to meet individually with Rockwell Automation professionals, partners and customers to learn more about the latest developments in advanced automation products, integrated control and information architecture, and value-add services and solutions.
