The 2027 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting invites proposals for high-quality, practical industrial contributions: individual Industry Presentations and/or organised Panel Sessions. The emphasis is on real-world engineering R&D programs, case studies, experience, deployment challenges, lessons learned, best practices, standards needs and future industrial directions.

No regular paper submission is required and presentation materials will not be published in IEEE Xplore. A short abstract will need to be submitted with details provided below.

Contributions Invited

1. Industry Presentations

Industry Presentations are individual technical talks intended to share industrial experience. Presentations will be approximately 25 minutes including questions and will be selected based on a short proposal or abstract.

2. Panel Sessions

Panel Sessions are organized, moderated discussions on timely industrial topics. They should stimulate exchange between industry, academia, standards bodies and application experts. Panel Sessions will be approximately 90 minutes and should normally include a moderator and several panelists from more than one organization.
