Industry Forum
General Information and Sessions
The IES Industry Forum provides specialized conference sessions hosting speakers from industry to discuss product and technology directions, challenges, and other industry issues with creation, application, and production of products using Industrial Electronics Technologies and necessary computational, communications, and security infrastructures needed to use these technologies. Speakers are focusing their presentations on technical challenges of interest to the technical audience; there is no written conference publication. Speakers are expected to interact with the conference attendees to discuss Industry issues. Admission to the industry forum sessions is complementary for all conference attendees.
For IECON 2013 the following Industry Form sessions will be held, focusing on the potential contribution of Industrial Electronics technologies:
