Who should attend ISA Automation Week?

Any automation and control professionals working within continuous process, discrete, and hybrid manufacturing environments in any of these functions: Technicians, Engineers, Management, Marketing, as well as Academia/R&D/Scientists. This is the one conference customized for you, with useable, relevant information to help you in your every day job—and give your personal career a boost.

How does ISA Automation Week 2010 differ from previous events such as ISA EXPO 2009?

ISA Automation Week is a separate and distinct event from the ISA EXPO format you may remember from previous years. ISA Automation Week’s central focus is the custom-designed technical program, providing content across multiple disciplines for nearly every job function in automation and control.

A supplier exhibition featuring over 100 vendors will provide a hands-on look at products and solutions and a chance to interact with technical experts during conference breaks, meals, and networking receptions.

Automation and control professionals tell us that what they want and need most is practical information and professional development skills. They want applications-based sessions along with technical theory. They want basic knowledge along with more advanced information. They want to know more about products and solutions they can use as they advance in their automation careers.

Industry professionals look to ISA to fill their information and career-building needs. ISA Automation Week provides those much-desired technical sessions rich in content within a customizable format that allows attendees to set a conference agenda following a particular track or a career path. It’s new, it’s fresh, and it may surprise attendees as it breaks some time-honored traditions. Traditions are great. But the future is here—ISA Automation Week.
