Here’s the second installment of descriptions of NIWeek summits, which bring targeted keynotes, product trainings, and innovative demonstrations together in one place. Visit the following pages for detailed information on each summit.

Aerospace and Defense Summit

Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) test platforms have evolved significantly to address complex system requirements while decreasing time to market and reducing total cost of ownership. Learn how to address the entire life cycle of aerospace and defense systems, from creating flexible, software-defined test systems to deploying real-time embedded systems for control, monitoring, and operation.

Keynote: Rapid Innovation on the Cheap: Lessons From DARPA and Commercial Space Flight

Session Highlight: Nondestructive Structural Test for Aerospace

Big Physics and Science Summit
This workshop brings together scientists and engineers from major national and research labs to discuss topics in the areas of control, measurement, and diagnostics for particle accelerators, synchrotrons, fusion reactors, and telescopes.

Keynote Highlight: The Quest for Alternative Energy—Anomalous Heat Effect (a.k.a. Cold Fusion)

Session Highlight: Operating and Controlling More Than 100 Cherenkov Telescopes

Energy Technology Summit
This summit covers a wide range of topics: clean energy, grid-tied power conversion, storage, distribution control systems, and electric vehicles. You won't want to miss this in-depth technical discussion of design and development techniques for controlling the smart grid.

Keynote Highlight: Sandia and Vestas: Designing a Smarter Wind Farm
Session Highlight: Next-Generation Instrumentation for Nuclear Power
