SUMMARY:Digital Engineering Conference May 12-13, 2026 University of Utah by INL Idaho National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Fourth annual Digital Engineering Conference\nMay 12-13, 2026, Salt Lake City, UT\nThe national laboratory-led Digital Engineering Conference returns in 2026, hosted by the University of Utah.\nStay tuned for abstract submission details, registration information, and the full agenda will be available after the new year.\nTransforming Projects Through Digital Innovation\nOptimizing megaprojects\nIn today’s high-stakes industry and research world, megaprojects — spanning space exploration, advanced defense systems, cutting-edge power plants and complex infrastructure — promise to revolutionize our future. However, hidden design flaws and unforeseen production hurdles can jeopardize gains, causing delays and inflating budgets. By harnessing digital twins and artificial intelligence, we can simulate, predict and optimize these projects in real time, identifying issues before they arise and ensuring smoother execution, reduced risks and controlled costs.\nMitigating risks\nDigital engineering mitigates these risks by leveraging digital twins and AI to create precise, real-time simulations and predictive models. We can use digital twins to mirror physical assets and processes, allowing for continuous monitoring and optimization. AI enhances these models by analyzing vast amounts of data to identify inefficiencies, predict potential issues and suggest improvements. This integrated approach keeps costs in check and projects on schedule, significantly lowering overall program risk.\nAdvancing energy solutions\nIn this context, the Idaho National Laboratory and its collaborators have developed DICE, the Digital Innovation Center of Excellence. DICE leverages digital twin technology and AI to design next-generation power and energy systems. By integrating digital engineering principles, DICE enables real-time simulation, monitoring and optimization of projects. This initiative fosters collaboration with key industry and government partners, driving innovation and efficiency in energy solutions.\nWhat is DICE?\nDICE is a collaborative network of like-minded experts dedicated to advancing digital engineering, digital twinning and digital transformation across next-gen projects. DICE focuses on:\n\nStrategic leadership shaping the future of global energy through innovative digital strategies\nNational recognition establishing itself as a premier center of excellence through groundbreaking research\nCommunity coordination for facilitating the exchange of best practices within the government and industry network\nIndustry and academic outreach engaging with universities, industry partners and other national labs to foster collaboration\nEducation enhancement developing advanced training and educational resources on digital engineering, digital twinning, scientific computing and artificial intelligence\n\n
