About the Event
Emerging technology isn't coming — it's already here, and it's reshaping the way industrial and systems engineers work, lead, and compete.
The IISE Emerging Technologies Forum brings together practitioners, innovators, and industry leaders for a focused, four-hour virtual deep dive into the tools defining the next era of work: artificial intelligence, digital twins, and robotics & autonomy.
You'll hear from people who are applying these technologies today — in healthcare, aerospace, defense, and beyond. Walk away with practical insights you can use immediately.
How practicing ISEs are putting AI to work on real projects — and what's working
What a digital twin is and when it's feasible to implement in your organization
Where robotics and autonomy are already reshaping operations across industries
Practical insights from leaders across government and industry you won't hear anywhere else
The Technology
Not sure where to start with emerging tech? Here's what these three technologies mean — and why they matter right now.
AI enables systems to learn from data, recognize patterns, and make decisions with minimal human input. In ISE, it automates analysis that used to take days — scheduling, demand forecasting, quality control, process optimization.
A digital twin is a real-time virtual replica of a physical system — a factory floor, supply chain, or hospital workflow. It lets you simulate, test, and optimize without touching the real thing, dramatically reducing risk and cost.
Modern robotics goes far beyond assembly lines. Autonomous mobile robots, collaborative cobots, and AI-guided systems are handling logistics, inspection, healthcare delivery, and more — often alongside humans.

The Agenda
Select any speaker to read their bio.
Comfortable, incremental automation — or a fully agentic economy of autonomous AI agents on next-gen payment rails? Raczynski pulls back the curtain on both futures and challenges you to choose which one you'll build.
&
Two practitioners show how Power Automate, Copilot, and LLMs compress a 12-month IT cycle to days — and why deep process knowledge is the industrial engineer's edge in the AI transformation.
Cutting through the hype with real applications across factories, supply chains, and healthcare — where digital twins deliver measurable value, and the practical first steps for launching your own initiative.
&
Logistics and manufacturing side by side: sensor-driven autonomy, the business case leadership actually approves, the workforce retraining path, and the integration challenge engineers consistently underestimate.
