Solutions-based, Content Driven Conference

SENSORS WORLD: Solutions-Based, Content Driven Conference
Event to bring engineers, researchers, IT, government and corporate management together with sensor and sensor integrated technology—NASA, Boeing among those set to speak
Sensors World Conference from the NASST

NASST, a first-ever, U.S.-based sensor association, will support SENSORS WORLD and will host its inaugural annual convention.
SENSORS WORLD is a solutions-based, content driven conference organized and produced by the National Association of Sensor Science & Technology (NASST) in a break-through format built from the ground up, to promote effective and comprehensive networking and collaboration. The conference will bring engineers, researchers, IT, Government and corporate management together with sensor and sensor integrated technology providers in an atmosphere that builds relationships and encourages collaborative discussion.

Attendees have already registered from the aerospace, aircraft, automotive, transportation, chemical, pharmaceutical, engineering & system integration, instrumentation & controls, machine tools, medical, biosciences, and security industries.

Companies have made preparations to send the following personnel:

  • Product and systems designers.
  • Production engineers.
  • CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, EVPs, VPs of business development, operations and enterprise management.
  • Research & development departments.
SENSORS WORLD offers the ability to cross pollinate ideas and solutions across industries where sensor-integrated technology solutions may apply. The conference also allows attendees to address the pain points in their company’s day-to-day operations. With a chance to hear from industry innovators and thought leaders, the conference provides the opportunity to collaborate with sensor technology providers on custom solutions and network with peers and industry leaders.

Give Them The Keys

The list of keynote speakers scheduled to appear includes the Transportation Director for Environmental Defense, Michael Replogle, the Chief Segment Engineer of Electronic and Sensor Systems, Advanced Network and Space Systems for The Boeing Company, Manny Leinz, and the IPP Director based at NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC, Douglas A. Comstock.

Replogle is scheduled to speak on “Smart High Performance Transportation: The Next Frontier.” Since 1992, Mr. Replogle has been Transportation Director for Environmental Defense, a 500,000 member non-profit organization that links law, science, and economics. He has been a key player in U.S. transportation law and policy, regional transportation planning, travel modeling, and advancing market incentives. Replogle is also president of the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, a New York-based non-profit group he founded in 1985. Replogle has worked for or consulted to the World Bank, Federal Highway Administration, and many governments, and holds honors degrees in Civil and Urban Engineering and Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania.

A frequent witness to the Congress, state legislatures and the courts, his current project portfolio focuses on transportation finance, public-private partnerships, and road pricing strategies to enhance transportation system and environmental performance. His current initiatives focus on shaping metropolitan transportation policy and planning in Washington, DC, New York, California, Texas, Mexico City and Jakarta.

Leinz is scheduled to lead “Dancing in the Dark: How Optical Sensors Enabled Successful Orbital Express Satellite Rendezvous and Capture.”

Leinz has over 29 years experience in the aerospace industry and has led the development of high reliability electronics hardware, software and systems for platforms as diverse as submarines, missiles and spacecraft.

Since 2000 Leinz led a broad multi-million dollar research and development program sponsored by Boeing Phantom Works to advance the state-of-the-art in autonomous rendezvous technologies for spacecraft.

NASA’s Comstock will offer insight on “NASA's Missions, Partnership Successes and Opportunities.”

Comstock plans to cover “The Innovative Partnerships Program” that provides leveraged technology for NASA's mission directorates, programs and projects through investments and technology partnerships with industry, academia, government agencies and national laboratories.

Comstock is responsible for directing the IPP portfolio of technology investments and partnering mechanisms including Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR), Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR), NASA’s prize program of Centennial Challenges, and the Innovative Partnerships Seed Fund.

He is also responsible for intellectual property management and technology transfer that will provide broad societal benefits from the nation’s investment in NASA’s space and aeronautics missions, and for encouraging and facilitating partnerships with the emerging commercial space sector including the agency's purchase of emerging commercial services.
