Want to peek into Ignition’s future & gain automation insights? See you in September at ICC for can’t-miss keynotes & expert-led sessions.
Picture this: You walk into a conference with a challenge you’ve been wrestling with for months, maybe even years. You leave with not only a dozen new industry contacts, but also a couple of instantly implementable solutions and one idea that will transform how your team operates.
That’s not hype. It’s a typical first day at the Ignition Community Conference, with two more days still to go at the premier industrial automation event.
And you’re invited.
Start off hitting the right (key)notes
ICC keynotes don’t waste your time repeating buzzwords, hyperboles or speculative solutions. The Main Keynote gives you a good look at what’s actually happening inside real integrator businesses and enterprise operations doing extraordinary things with Ignition. The Technical Keynote takes you on a guided tour of Ignition’s future — and how it intersects and merges with current and emerging tech trends like AI, flexible architectures and cybersecurity.
Insider insights, improved skills are on the schedule
With more than 60 sessions led by industry leaders, Ignition experts and IA team members, there’s a wealth of knowledge to unleash your potential. Whatever your role or skill level, there’s a session (or 20!) that meets you where you are and helps you get where you’re headed — from an introduction to using Ignition at scale with Ansible, to insider tips for creating SVG animations in Perspective, or a hands-on workshop on MQTT basics.
Meet exhibitors, explore possibilities and find solutions
Like a live and interactive show of all that’s possible within the Ignition technology ecosystem, ICC’s Exhibitor Hall is where you can meet directly with vendors, see demos and presentations and find implementable solutions to real-world issues. Watch and learn. Ask questions. Borrow the good stuff and bring it home for inspiration.
A gallery of ideas to unleash your next project
Speaking of inspiration, the Discover Gallery showcases more than a dozen award-winning Ignition projects from across numerous industries sure to spark many more future Ignition projects. Stop in to see what your peers are building, and get ideas on how to make your next project even bigger and better.
ICC puts the ‘fun’ in this function
ICC is not all business all the time. This community is a fun bunch, so make time between sessions to chat with attendees, play video games at the SCADA Arcade, or test your skills in the Community Design Challenge.
Highly recommended: Get your team together to watch integrators go head-to-head in a live battle of wits in the always-entertaining Build-a-Thon — and get ready to laugh at witty banter and shenanigans from the always-comical hosts Travis Cox, Kevin McClusky and Kent Melville.
