INMR is delighted to announce that Florent Giraudet has been appointed Conference Director for the 2027 INMR WORLD CONGRESS in Portugal.
Florent has an affiliation with INMR going back 10 years, when he was a first-time delegate at the 2017 INMR WORLD CONGRESS in Sitges, Spain. Then an expert and business development specialist with the Surge Arrester Div. at Siemens (now Siemens Energy), he has since built an impressive career in the high voltage industry. After working with Tridelta Meidensha in Germany, he founded his own consultancy, Metarresters, which provides support services and solutions in the fields of lightning performance, surge arrester technology, and insulation coordination.
Florent has served as Session Chair (Surge Arresters) at past INMR WORLD CONGRESSES in Bangkok (2023) and Panama City (2025). In this regard he brings to his newly expanded role valuable experience from organizing those highly successful Sessions, while also interfacing with experts from across the globe.
As in the past, the 2027 INMR WORLD CONGRESS will feature Sessions devoted to key topics in electrical insulation and surge protection, including:
• MATERIALS & DEVELOPMENTS
• MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGIES
• LABORATORY TESTING
• POLLUTION & DESIGN
• LIGHTNING PERFORMANCE, SYSTEM PROTECTION & INSULATION COORDINATION
• APPLICATION & SERVICE EXPERIENCE
• CONDITION MONITORING & MAINTENANCE
INMR is confident that with Florent’s valued participation, the 2027 INMR WORLD CONGRESS will once again rank among the world’s best technical conferences and skills building events for T&D engineers and professionals. Thank you.
