How do you hope to change the world through automation? That’s the question that will be asked and answered by automation professionals worldwide in honor of International Automation Professional’s Day. This annual event—started by ISA in 2021 and correlating with the Society’s official founding April 28, 1945—celebrates how automation is changing the world for the better. Throughout the day, thoughts and photos come into ISA’s social media channels (FaceBook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, and Pinterest) using #IAPD or #AutomationProDay hashtag. Take a peek at some of the responses from last year and then submit your own on the 28th. This news item originally appeared in the February issue of InTech digital magazine.
