Call for SE PDD Site Participation

GLRC2018 SE PDD Registration is Now CLOSED!!!

The 12th annual INCOSE Systems Engineering (SE) conference of the Great Lakes region, GLRC2018 will have featured presentations from SE thought leaders and papers from SE practitioners and academia on important SE topics around the theme “Systems at the Crossroads”.

For the third year the GLRC conference will feature an INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional Development Day (SE PDD). The SE PDD is a virtual extension of the conference, with featured sessions broadcast from the host site in Minnesota exclusively to several satellite sites on Friday the 19th of October. The objective is to create mini-satellite conferences that give a portion of the GLRC experience without having to travel, thus expanding the impact and value of the conference to the entire region.

Why be an SE PDD Site?

The GLRC is one of the strongest regional conferences, with a broad range of industries represented. The SE PDD will extend the interactive value of the GLRC to your area with content from proven presenters. This experience will build on the benefits that your chapter members receive with their memberships.

What is the SE PDD?

Participants will see live feed presentations following one of the tracks from GLRC 2018 and have interactive discussions on these topics. The SE-PDD sites are set up with A/V equipment for the live feed from Indianapolis. Last year’s SE PDD included nine satellite sites in the Great Lakes Region and around the country.

A site leader and co-leader will be needed at each site to work with the SE-PDD site coordinator. The SE-PDD presentations will not be available to individuals. The objective is to create mini-satellite conferences that give a portion of the GLRC 2018 experience without having to travel, thus expanding the impact and value of the conference to the entire region. All participating sites will be required to execute an SE-PDD agreement to establish a consistent quality experience across all the sites. All participating sites are required to complete the INCOSE GLRC2018 Site Participation information page here.
