GLRC2018 — Systems at the Crossroads 

INCOSE Vision 2025 describes a landscape of opportunities, challenges, and evolving approaches to engineering the world of the future— a world of “systems”. Many of these issues represent “crossroads”, requiring conscious choices and action leading in new directions. “GLRC2018— Systems at the Crossroads” has been organized around a series of these crossroad issues, and provides opportunities for attendees to compare and advance their understandings and approaches to these important crossroad issues.

GLRC2018 will feature important topics from critical sectors such as aerospace, agriculture, biomedical & healthcare, defense, education, energy, environmental sciences, government, information, infrastructure, safety and security, space and transportation.

GLRC 2018 is for the entire Great Lakes community— not just INCOSE members and not just systems engineers. Our community is connected by our shared interest in the successful advance of systems vital to our regional and global prosperity.

GLRC2018 this year will feature an INCOSE SE Professional Development Day (SE PDD). The SE PDD will be a virtual extension of the conference, with the featured sessions broadcast from Indianapolis to several satellite sites on Friday the 19th of October. Last year several groups participated in the STEM demonstration. GLRC 2018 has great interest in engaging the local area youth and looks forward to sponsors also supporting the STEM activities. GLRC2018 looks forward to hosting the STEM demonstration during the conference banquet reception.
