Belden (NYSE: BDC) has opened registration for its 2013 Industrial Ethernet Infrastructure (IEI) Design Seminar. The seminar takes place Oct. 6-9, 2013, in Philadelphia, and is intended for anyone who designs or maintains mission-critical Industrial Ethernet networks.

Via the seminar, professionals such as network design engineers, controls engineers, machine builders, plant engineers and IT specialists will benefit from learning how to reduce costs and installation time for deployment of industrial networks, while implementing highly reliable and resilient networks.
