QUO VADIS CONFERENCE


10TH QUO VADIS CONFERENCE


PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC


Prague was the location of the 10th Quo Vadis Conference, the annual gathering of windfarm owners and operators that is hosted by Kevin and Sigrid Donovan of GWA Supplies Ltd. The event, which was first held with a small group in Lowestoft in 2007, is unique in the industry as it is only for invited guests and excludes the turbine manufacturers, which in turn provides a great opportunity for owners and operators to share their knowledge and experience.


Kevin and Sigi take great pride in the fact that they offer the conference and the framework programme free of charge which is only possible because sponsors like ZF Services, DNV GL, Renewable Advice, Romo Wind, SKF, and others, help to pay for the costs.


KNOWLEDGE SHARING


Sharing of knowledge amongst the delegates is particularly easy at Quo Vadis for two main reasons to ensure the format of the event and the family atmosphere


1. The event is spread over two days, with day one including a city tour and conference dinner


2. The conference being held on day two


This provides a relaxing setting with plenty of opportunities to network and catch up with all the delegates. The family atmosphere comes from the fact that many of the participants have been to previous events so it is an opportunity to reacquaint with old friends and make new ones.


HALL OF FAME


Many have been regular attendees, with some people actually having participated at all 10 conferences. These die-hards are recognised during the conference when Sigrid Donovan presents the Quo Vadis hall of fame which highlights the most frequent attenders. This year, Huw Smallwood (Tegni) and Steve Higman (REG Power Management) were acclaimed for having been to each of the 10 Quo Vadis events.


SOCIAL


The delegates gathered on the Wednesday afternoon and were treated to a river boat tour of the city with local
