This year’s NIWeek is shaping up to be our best to date. Bring your colleagues to learn about NI products, user applications, and industry trends and gain advanced technical knowledge from NI developers and your peers.

Maybe you haven’t had time to check it out, are still pricing flights, or are waiting for your manager’s approval—whatever the holdup, we’ve compiled some of the top reasons why we want you to attend this year’s NIWeek in Austin, August 6–9.

1. Get the tools you need to accelerate productivity.

See NI products in action in over 250 technical sessions divided into three technical tracks: embedded monitoring and control, software development techniques and test, and data acquisition. Then put your new tools to work the moment you return to the office.

2. Gain insight and learn new industry trends.

Explore trends and innovations in the six industry-focused summits of aerospace and defense, big physics and science, energy technology, RF and wireless communications, robotics and autonomous vehicles, and vision. To see the summit content in action, visit the corresponding pavilions on the exhibition floor.

3. Walk away with inspiration and insights from industry makers.

Join our keynote speakers as they discuss current trends and how they are driving future innovations.

4. Network with the best of the best.

NIWeek brings together more than 3,000 of the best engineers, scientists, and thought leaders from all industries. Take the opportunity to meet them, pick their brains, and find ways to address your pressing challenges.

5. Ramp up your skills with training and hands-on experience.

Get even more value out of our tools with “real-world” training. More than 40 hands-on workshops offer plenty of opportunities for you to upgrade your skills. Also be sure to partake in the
training and certification sessions to maintain your competitive advantage.

6. Enhance your product knowledge and expertise.

Besides a variety of technical sessions, you have multiple opportunities to meet industry and academic leaders and learn about engineers in the NI Community during special events such as the Academic Forum, Future of System Design Symposium, Build Your Own Embedded System Workshop, and Reducing Poverty Through Technology: Nurturing Innovation in Emerging Countries Panel.

7. Visit the great city of Austin.

As the capital of Texas, Austin prides itself on being far from ordinary. In fact, Austinites celebrate being “weird.” A hot spot for creativity, Austin embraces its community of musicians, artists, entrepreneurs, and progressive thinkers. Check Austin out.

We look forward to seeing you and your colleagues at NIWeek 2012 in Austin, Texas, August 6–9!
