Boeing and Northrop Grumman Interoperability Summit

With almost 250 participants already registered for the third annual Boeing/Northrop Grumman Global Product Data Interoperability Summit, the list of speakers has now been released (see below).  Industry-leading aerospace, automotive, software and IT experts will address the data and communications challenges and opportunities that arise in today’s multi-CAD, multi-supplier environment.  

The Summit is of interest to anyone working in the CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM space—commercial or academic—who would like to join in deep, agnostic discussions about best practices in data management and exchange as they apply to this year’s theme of “Enabling a Globally Integrated Supply Chain.” Registration is open until October 15 for those wishing to attend the Chandler, Arizona event, which takes place November 7-10 at the Crowne Plaza San Marcos.  For further information or to register, contact event coordinator Elysium: annalise.suzuki@elysiuminc.com.

In addition to co-hosts Boeing and Northrop Grumman, presenters and sponsors include Dassault Systèmes, Elysium, Honeywell, Intel, Kubotek, NIST, Siemens and many others listed below. Topics will include engineering collaboration, product data interoperability, quality and manufacturing, supplier transactions and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) from a data-centric viewpoint.

Boeing and Northrop will conduct closed sessions for the first day and a half; sessions open to registered attendees begin at 1 p.m. November 8 and run through noon November 10.  Further details about the event are available HERE.
