58th International Instrumentation Symposium

 

Welcome to the 58th International Instrumentation Symposium!

Sponsored by the Aerospace Industries, Test Measurement, and Process Measurement and Control Divisions of ISA, and in collaboration with ISA’s Automatic Controls and Robotics (ACARD) and Chemical and Petroleum Industries (ChemPID) Divisions, and the Propulsion Instrumentation Working Group (PIWG), the 58th International Instrumentation Symposium (IIS) will provide an outstanding opportunity to gain valuable technical information and training in the traditional areas of measurements/sensors, instrumentation systems, data and advanced system/sensor technology, and many other state-of-the-art areas.

Industry experts will present papers on important topics like electronic instrumentation, wireless technology, cybersecurity, aerospace systems, process measurement and control, virtual instrumentation systems, laser and electro-optics instrumentation, geo-science and remote sensing, and more. The event will also feature volunteer-led tutorials, social events, exhibits, networking, and social functions, including a student presentation/paper competition.

IIS will be held 4–8 June 2012 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla, San Diego, California, USA. Enjoy a seaside destination with the charm of a European village and the panache of Southern California. Located in the city known as “The Jewel of the Pacific”, Hyatt Regency La Jolla offers incomparable beaches, shopping, dining, galleries and attractions. Visit Stephen Birch Aquarium & Museum, SeaWorld, spend a day kayaking, take a Baja Lobster or Wine tour, see live theater, or shop San Diego’s trendy boutiques; all just minutes away.
