Welcome from the General Chair
Prof. Pericle Zanchetta
We are delighted to invite you to Rome for the 2027 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting, proudly held in conjunction with the Industrial & Commercial Power Systems (I&CPS) Europe Conference. Organized under the auspices of the IEEE Industry Applications Society, this global gathering will serve as a dynamic platform for innovation, collaboration, and professional exchange.
Renowned for bringing together leaders across academia, industry, and government research centers, the IEEE IAS Annual Meeting continues to shape the future of electrical and electronic engineering. The 2027 edition will highlight transformative developments in power and energy systems, smart grids, energy storage systems, power electronics, electric machines and drives, industrial lighting systems, intelligent process control, electrical safety, electrostatics, electrical applications in metal production, mining and petrochemicals — areas that are rapidly redefining how industries operate worldwide.
By hosting the conference in Rome and integrating the I&CPS Europe Conference, IEEE IAS underscores its commitment to strengthening international partnerships and fostering cross-regional dialogue. Participants will engage in a rich and forward-looking program featuring peer-reviewed technical sessions, industrial tutorials, expert panels, and industry showcases. In addition, curated networking events will provide meaningful opportunities to connect, collaborate, and spark new ideas.
Set against the timeless backdrop of Rome, attendees will experience a city where engineering marvels span millennia. From the architectural ingenuity of the Colosseum and the historic significance of the Roman Forum to the cultural influence of Vatican City, Rome offers inspiration at every turn. Beyond its heritage, the city also serves as a vibrant hub of modern research, innovation, and global connectivity.
The conference will also emphasize community and professional development, with dedicated programming such as Women in Engineering (WIE), Young Professionals (YP), student engagement activities, and industry-led forums. Special events, cultural experiences, and optional technical and touristic visits will further enrich the overall experience.
Our local and international organizing teams are working with great enthusiasm to deliver a memorable and impactful event that reflects both the legacy and future of the IAS community.
We warmly invite you to join us in Rome, Italy, in June 2027 for a truly inspiring gathering at the intersection of technology, industry, and global collaboration.
