Chicago to host ASME's 2006 Congress in November

The 2006 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition — the world's premier technical conference for mechanical engineers — will convene from Nov. 5–10, at the Hilton Chicago.

The annual meeting will include hundreds of sessions, forums, exhibits, tours, and social events to keep you current on the latest trends in technology and industry. It will also provide the opportunity to trade tips and share ideas with engineers in different industries and companies around the world.

The conference will bring together engineers and scientists to discuss and demonstrate advanced technologies in diverse fields, among them energy, aerospace, materials, and applied mechanics.

The program also will include special tracks organized around industries and technical disciplines that are receiving heightened interest in the engineering community. These tracks include energy, biomedical systems, transportation, and homeland security.

A track on engineering business management will spotlight the growing trend in engineering to obtain knowledge and skills in strategic planning, marketing, finances, and other areas that employers consider essential for career success and longevity.

The industry tracks reflect one of the Society's new strategic initiatives to reach out to engineers in industry, and to develop content that promotes corporate innovation and productivity.

The exposition at the Congress will showcase the new engineering tools and techniques providing competitive advantages for today's technology firms, as well as the latest offerings of leading technical publishers.

Other highlights at the Congress include the Young Engineers Forum, Student Design Contest finals, and the Honors Assembly ceremony recognizing service and achievement in mechanical engineering.
