The INCOSE Organization

International Council on Systems Engineering is a dynamic and growing organization. In some 10 short years since its foundation, its growth has exceeded 4000 members and 40 chartered chapters worldwide (wth a dozen more on the way).

National or regional chapters, volunteer committees and working groups provide energy and direction for the association. The overall orchestration of INCOSE is the responsibility of an executive committee. The executive committee and 7 directors comprise the Board, which guides INCOSE activities. The Corporate Advisory Board, made up of 40 international industrial enterprises in all spheres of industry and government, provides guidance & recommendations, and serves as the "voice of the companies" for INCOSE's products.

INCOSE annually conducts two major international and many regional meetings. The yearly meetings are the International Business Workshop in late January and the International Technical Symposium in late June. The International Symposium is INCOSE's foremost event, hosting 1000 participants for four days of technical exchange, presentations, panel discussions, tutorials and exhibitions. Many regional conferences and workshops are organized by INCOSE chapters worldwide, bringing international subject matter experts to local members at minimal cost.
