IRI's Virtual Annual Conference 2021- The Next Normal

IRI in partnership with the European Industrial Research Management Association

Monday May 17, 2021 9:00am Eastern – Friday May 21, 2021 9:00am Eastern

The 2021 Virtual Annual Conference will draw from the lessons of 2020 to present new strategies for companies to adapt and grow in the post-COVID world. Organizations forced to pivot quickly have now turned to considering what pandemic-driven changes will become permanent, how to develop a strategic plan that is both stable and agile, and best practices for this new era of innovation management. Featuring a variety of session formats, including interactive breakouts, roundtable discussions, and keynotes, this event will provide attendees a roadmap for the future. We are pleased to partner with the European Industrial Research Management Association (EIRMA) on Wednesday, May 19, to explore sustainability topics such as circularity, clean air, the future of sustainable mobility, and more. We also welcome the Manufacturers Alliance for Innovation and Productivity (MAPI), who will present their latest studies on collaborative research on ecosystems for smart manufacturing. This conference is open to the public.
