George Hawley, a retired electrical engineer from Sarasota, was at one time the world’s leading authority on the effects of lightning on telephone transmission systems — for which he received a PhD in systems science. After service in the Marine Corps performed in exchange for his undergraduate education, he began a career in telecommunications at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill. Along the way, he and his first wife, Mary Kay, produced three ridiculously talented boys, the oldest but least gifted of whom grew up to be director of this conference. George and his wife Charlotte make their home in Sarasota.

For a good time, ask George any oddball technological question about Tesla (the car, not the inventor). Then fasten your seatbelt.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
