Engineering & Operations Conference

Program

The 2021 Engineering & Operations Conference will feature a 2-day format with keynotes, breakout sessions, and networking events from March 29-30.

Format

Given the ongoing uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic, we have committed to having a virtual attendance option for this event. We are evaluating the feasibility of a hybrid option (in-person and virtual attendance options), since we have meeting space already secured at the Pasadena Convention Center in California.

The two-day format we’re planning can easily be held as a fully virtual event, if necessary. A final decision on the format will be made in December. Contact [email protected] for updates.

How can I present at the conference?

We welcome your topic and speaker ideas for future conferences and events. To submit your idea for consideration, complete this form. Conference topics are generally determined 6 months before the event is held. Ideas will be kept on file for a full year, so if the agenda for the conference has already been determined, your ideas will be considered for the next year’s event, or in case any space opens up in the current year’s program. You will be contacted only if your idea is selected for an upcoming conference.
