Backup Power Website
Many of you have registered with the website that has been supporting the conference and are using it on a regular basis. For those who have not, you will not know of the useful information being posted there on a daily basis.

The aim of this site is to become a central meeting place for all users and suppliers of standby power systems. The site has now moved to its new home at [www.backuppower.biz] where all of the old functionality has been retained and new functionality is on the way. We look forward to seeing you there.
