Schedule of Events—Easy to Navigate

ISA Automation Week has been organized to deliver a well-rounded, engaging, and relevant education experience for all attendees. Every aspect of the schedule—the keynote address, conference sessions, the exhibition, networking receptions, the Honors & Awards Gala, industry meetings, and more—have been carefully planned to minimize overlapping schedules.

The framework of the technical conference encourages attendees to customize their own agenda each day using PathFinder. From back-to-basics instruction to applications to theory, there is a wealth of education across all technical tracks for each of five career paths. Attendees can relax and focus on learning, without having to choose between a “must-attend” conference session, a committee meeting, or an in-depth conversation with a key vendor. Food and beverage will be available in the exhibit area, creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere to facilitate networking with industry and technical experts.

You’ve never been to a conference like this before—focused, fun, and fundamental to your career needs.
