Attendees at T&D World Live will have the chance to win a professional-grade Wind Monitor worth $1,249.00 as R.M. Young Company and Western Weather Group present a joint giveaway at Booth 419.
Two decades of partnership on the trade-show floor
The promotion marks the first time the two firms are co-exhibiting together at a trade show despite more than 20 years of collaboration. R.M. Young, a manufacturer with more than 60 years in meteorological instrumentation, and Western Weather Group, a provider of weather station design, installation and maintenance services, are bringing a full weather station display and product lineup to the conference to demonstrate solutions aimed at utility and weather-monitoring professionals.
To enter the giveaway, visitors at Booth 419 will answer a trivia question about weather and wind monitoring. Organizers say entries will be judged by closeness to the correct answer; the entry nearest the correct response will win the Wind Monitor. There is no purchase required to enter.
What the booth will offer
- Product demonstrations of R.M. Young instrumentation and a complete weather station display.
- Opportunities to consult with product and field experts from both companies.
- Advance reservations for one-on-one meetings with company teams (limited availability during show hours).
The presence of both companies on the show floor underscores the intersection of manufacturer capability and field implementation — a key consideration for utilities that rely on accurate environmental data for operations and safety decisions.
Industry context and implications
R.M. Young is known for precision-engineered sensors applied across meteorology, aviation, energy and research. Western Weather Group contributes field expertise and meteorological consultation, helping customers choose and deploy instrumentation where weather observations have operational consequences, especially for utility safety. Their joint exhibit offers attendees a hands-on view of integrated solutions rather than isolated components.
Trade shows such as T&D World Live serve several functions for the energy and weather-monitoring sectors: they are venues for product launches, technical exchange and procurement networking. For utilities, decisions made from demonstrations and vendor meetings at such events can inform purchasing, site design and maintenance planning for sensors that feed operational networks and emergency-response systems.
While the giveaway is promotional, it also provides a low-barrier way for conference participants to evaluate a piece of instrumentation they might otherwise only see in catalogs or technical papers. Exhibitors frequently use live demonstrations to show how sensors perform in sample configurations, how they integrate with data loggers and telemetry systems, and what maintenance considerations field teams must plan for.

For conference-goers who prioritize operational reliability and safety, seeing instruments and speaking with both manufacturer and installer can streamline the procurement process. The exhibit also highlights how long-term supplier relationships can shape product selection and implementation strategies.
Those planning to visit Booth 419 are encouraged to reserve a meeting slot in advance; organizers note one-on-one availability is limited during show hours. In addition to the giveaway, attendees can expect technical discussion on sensor selection, siting and maintenance practices tailored to utility environments.
With the giveaway and joint display, R.M. Young and Western Weather Group aim to convert decades of collaboration into tangible demonstrations that inform decisions for weather monitoring in critical infrastructure.
