The ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conference and the Computer and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC/CIE) will take place August 21–24, 2016 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

IDETC/CIE is the world's leading research conference in the field of design and related manufacturing. The 2016 conference is expected to attract over 2,000 attendees and over 1,000 technical presentations. IDETC/CIE will serve as the leading forum for the sharing recent research and also provide a unique opportunity for networking between a diverse audience from academia, government and industry.

Currently, ASME is soliciting technical papers for each of the conferences noted above. Papers accepted and presented at IDETC/CIE 2016 will be published in the official conference proceedings. The overall conference will include keynote and plenary lectures, lively panel discussions and workshops and tutorials encompassing a wide array of topics related to engineering design and manufacturing, as well as the use of computers in engineering. The conference includes a wide variety of student activities and competitions, networking opportunities and access to the industry presentations and exhibition.

IDETC/CIE 2016 will be co-located with the ASME Additive Manufacturing + 3D Printing Conference (AM3D) to highlight the “Design behind 3D” enabling practitioners to gain a better insight into using additive skills in product design and development, manufacturing and integration throughout the product life-cycle.

We look forward to welcoming you to Charlotte, North Carolina in August 2016!
