About this event
IEEE-USA Innovation, Workforce, and Research Conferences (IWRC) bring together stakeholders from academia, government, and industry to bridge the gap between research and commercially viable products.
Who should attend
If you work where manufacturing, defense, and emerging technology meet, this summit is designed with you in mind. - **You build or deploy advanced manufacturing systems** and want a clearer view of how digital twins can improve design, production, maintenance, quality, or operational decision-making. - **You work in defense, aerospace, or government-connected programs** and need to understand how digital twin approaches can support readiness, reliability, lifecycle planning, and mission-critical performance. - **You’re in R&D, engineering, or product development** and care about moving ideas beyond the lab into tools, processes, and products that can actually be adopted at scale. - **You lead innovation, strategy, or technical programs** and want practical insight into how academia, industry, and government can work together to close the gap between research and commercial use. - **You’re responsible for workforce, technology adoption, or organizational capability** and need to understand what skills, partnerships, and infrastructure are needed to make digital twin efforts successful. - **You value cross-sector conversations** and want to hear how different stakeholders are approaching the same challenges from research, policy, engineering, and implementation perspectives.
