NIWeek 2010

06/29/2010

Worldwide Graphical System Design Conference. National Instruments is hosting NIWeek, the industry's premier event on graphical system design that attracts more than 3,000 of the world's brightest engineers, educators, and scientists. NIWeek 2010, the company's 16th annual customer and technology conference, opens August 3 at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas, for three days of interactive technical sessions, targeted summits, hands-on workshops, and exhibitions on the latest developments for design, control, automation, manufacturing, and test. The conference also features keynote presentations and demonstrations that highlight how engineers and scientists can use NI graphical system design to test, measure, and fix inefficient products and processes to improve everyday life.

“NIWeek is the ultimate venue for engineers to meet, exchange information and ideas and learn about innovative advances in technology and NI products,” said Dr. James Truchard, NI CEO, president and cofounder. “At NIWeek 2010, we address the continuing need for more efficient user-defined solutions, explore the benefits of graphical system design to gain a competitive advantage and learn how technological advances are accelerating the speed of time to market.”

NIWeek 2010 highlights include the following:

• Five technical summits focused on RF and wireless, robotics, military and aerospace, vision and energy technology
• Four tracks focused on automated test, embedded design, industrial automation and control and software development and technology
• More than 200 technical sessions and 45 hands-on technical workshops
• Intermediate- and advanced-level NI LabVIEW and NI hardware and software content
• More than 150 demonstrations on the exhibit floor by companies such as Averna, Hitachi, Honeywell, LEGO® and Texas Instruments
• Daily keynotes with NI executives and industry leaders

New to NIWeek in 2010 is the Energy Technology Summit, which features sessions on developing sustainable practices in the energy industry. NI will also host a Big Physics Symposium where engineers and scientists can collaborate and learn how NI technologies can solve instrumentation and control challenges in physics. On Aug. 2, NI will host the Academic Forum and Alliance Day. NIWeek attendees have the opportunity to interact with the NI R&D, provide product feedback and attend networking opportunities including nightly events and daily lunchtime peer-to-peer roundtables.
