Industry Day at the March Meeting 2018, Los Angeles, CA
This year’s Industry Day theme is “Big Data and Physics: Bits to Knowledge,” which highlights how Big Data impacts our work, our daily lives, and physics research. New applications, services, and products are emerging as Big Data grows in importance. Sensors are proliferating, generating real-time information about the environment, traffic, status of equipment, and what is happening in our homes. Software and systems are being deployed that can digest enormous datasets and extract meaningful insights.

Videos of the five talks in “Physics That Changed the World” are available at this link.

In addition to Industry Day FIAP is sponsoring many other sessions including “Patents, Innovations, and Wars!” and “Physicists as Entrepreneurs”. You can find a listing of all the FIAP sessions in a brochure at this link.

Join your colleagues in Los Angeles for Industry Day or for the entire week. There are always interesting talks, new people to meet, and new equipment and techniques to learn about in the equipment exhibit. See you there!
