2022 Annual INCOSE Western States Regional Conference (WSRC)

Climb Above the Buzzwords

30 September - 2 October 2022 | Golden, Colorado, USA

Explore the theme and the topics for the WSRC 2022.



Get your climbing gear on and prepare to reach new heights in the art and practice of Systems Engineering.  This year, the WSRC brings you a curated program that delves into the theory and PRACTICE of the latest Systems Engineering research.  

We are challenging our presenters to "Climb Above the Buzzwords" to illustrate how they have reduced their research and theory to practice.  They will illustrate how they are able to build value through their efforts and share tips and tricks so that you might realize the same success.

The Midwest Gateway Chapter of INCOSE was founded in St. Louis in 1992. Over the years we've hosted the INCOSE Symposium and the Conference on Systems Engineering Research (CSER), and been the home chapter of national and regional INCOSE leaders. Many of our members are engaged in defense, biotech, connected devices, and academia. Most members are located in St. Louis and the surrounding area (from Missouri S&T in Rolla to Scott Air Force Base in the Metro East), but all are welcome to affiliate with us.
