IW2019 facilitates working meetings for groups engaged in INCOSE’s major projects and in international standards development, workshops to explore the Systems Engineering challenges in new sectors, opportunities for chapter leaders to meet and share best practice, support sessions to help you get the most out of INCOSE’s shared working environment and a broad range of other technical meetings. Planned sessions will be published on the website as these become available.

The Women in Manufacturing (WiM) Association has brought together top industry associations and organizations to launch a first-of-its-kind Coalition for Women in Industry. The coalition builds on WiM’s reputation for innovation and collaboration and offers a unique opportunity to strengthen unified efforts to attract, retain, and advance women in traditionally male-dominated industries. The group is comprised of senior executives, founders and board members of organizations and associations who are committed to this effort.

Coalition Mission: To work to attract, retain and advance women in manufacturing, with the goal of achieving a new norm in the industry: one in which women and men have equal power, status, and opportunity.

The Accelerating Systemic Change Network (ASCN) invites you to join us for the 2019 Transforming Institutions Conference. This conference will bring together researchers, faculty, change agents, administrators, and policymakers to focus on transforming undergraduate education.

This conference will address critical questions related to institutional change in higher education and foster connections between researchers and change agents across fields. We intend to provide opportunities for cross-disciplinary discussion and collaboration as we work together to bring about institutional change and to define the future of this work.

The City of Manchester, once the birthplace of the 1st Industrial Revolution, is today a world-leading hub of the 4th Industrial Revolution, offering Industry 4.0 solutions in engineering, healthcare and social sciences.

Attracting hundreds of manufacturing professionals from around the country, the WiM SUMMIT is the only national conference of its kind. This three-day networking and educational event features manufacturing plant tours, keynote presentations, roundtable discussions, breakout sessions, and social events to expand participants’ networks. The SUMMIT location moves around the country each year, giving attendees the opportunity to experience manufacturing and develop their networks throughout the United States.

The 9th annual WiM SUMMIT will be held on September 9 – 11, 2019 in Denver, CO. The 2019 SUMMIT is expected to attract more than 400 individuals in manufacturing with titles ranging from production to the C-Suite.

Bringing a new medical device to market can be costly and complicated. Medical device developers and manufacturers need to increase speed, quality and results. Modeling and simulation can accelerate product development and the regulatory submission process, and more importantly, increase patient safety and enhance device performance. The ultimate goal is the safety and effectiveness of medical devices for every physician who uses them, and every patient who needs them.

Modeling and Simulation creates a ‘digital twin’ of a medical device allowing for feasibility testing, inspection and more to be implemented virtually. Simulation allows developers to accurately model designs under different conditions. The technology allows researchers and engineers to better understand mechanical behavior of devices, and can lead to more tailored, patient-specific items. Along with device prototypes, simulation can reduce time to market and generate valuable data.

Join us for the 2019 Defense Manufacturing Conference scheduled for December 2-5, 2019 in Phoenix, Arizona. You may also attend the concurrent Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS)/Parts Obsolescence Symposium at no additional expense (by qualifying as active US Military, Government or current DD2354 on file), giving you access to more technical information for the same travel cost.
