IWCE 2021: Connecting Critical Communications

Las Vegas , US

INCOSE will be hosting a booth at the International Wireless Communication Expo (IWCE) in Las Vegas Sept 29-30, 2021

The INCOSE Telecommunications WG has an MOU with IWCE to share systems engineering with Telecom/ ICT industry. We hope to better engage industry professionals and expand INCOSE’s reach by sharing the value of Systems Engineering with enterprise users, suppliers, and consultants in the telecommunications and ICT industry. 

IWCE 2021: Connecting Critical Communications

After the past year, building and connecting our critical communications community is more important than ever before. As we move towards recovery, IWCE is thrilled to bring you its 45th annual conference, with four-days of cutting-edge education for critical communications professionals. With that, we are excited to announce that IWCE 2021 will return to the Las Vegas Convention Center this September 27-30 with exhibits September 29-30.

IWCE has been hard at work over the past year to bring you the conference and education you have come to value and depend on. Check back periodically for new announcements and speaker information or sign up for our mailing list to be the first to know about key announcements.

Please note that conference attendees who paid to attend the IWCE 2020 live event will automatically have access to attend IWCE 2021 with a pass of equal value.
