The International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) is ASME's largest research and development conference focused primarily on mechanical engineering, but encompasses perspectives from many engineering disciplines. IMECE is THE place for you to present your technical research and expertise, while also learning from and connecting with thousands of your peer researchers on a global level.
The Virtual IMECE Technical Conference will feature robust conversations on technical content with all participants. Technical sessions are planned to consist of pre-recorded talks with live Q&A and discussion. Posters will allow for short introduction videos and Q&A. Additionally, there will be a variety of special technical events including live panels, roundtables, and special talks.
At IMECE you’ll experience stimulating innovation from basic discovery to translational application of new approaches and foster collaborations that engage stakeholders and partners not only from academia, but also from national laboratories, industry and government funding bodies. No other conference will provide you with more broad, but salient perspectives and knowledge-sharing on technical advances within mechanical engineering, than IMECE.
More Networking and Enhanced Q&A
ASME's IMECE 2021 Virtual Conference is working on improving networking capabilities and creating more opportunities to connect with your community. We've listened to your feedback and are considering several adding new features to our program, similar to:
- More Interactive Q&As: During the conference, each presenter will be given time for Q&A with the attendees. Pre-recorded presentations will be available in advance of the event, enabling attendees review in detail prior to the live sessions. Continue the conversation after a session with roundtables.
- Time-shifted Sessions: We're adjusting the timing of some live presentations and Q&A to better accommodate global participation in those sessions.
- Discussion Groups: Invite your peers to self-organized discussion groups and social interactions through our upgraded virtual event platform. You can create a topic and invite other attendees to join the discussion or enter a topic-specific group video chat created by the conference organizers.
- Social Interactivity: Looking for more casual interaction as well? Create discussion threads and engage with your peers around hot topics in your industry.
- 1:1 Chats: Connect at any time with other attendees to expand your network – informal and at your own pace.
