At this meeting, you will join with ChemE practitioners from around the globe to explore our profession’s hottest topics. One of those is examined in a new Industry 4.0 Topical Conference, highlighting the role of chemical engineers at the forefront of modern manufacturing. On Monday, two panel discussions set the stage for Industry 4.0, with subsequent sessions expanding on pertinent topics in big data analytics, cybersecurity, process intensification, and more. Complimenting Industry 4.0 is a topical conference on innovative and smart manufacturing. Starting everything off on Monday morning,Mark Vergnano, President and CEO of The Chemours Co., receives the 2018 AIChE Government and Industry Leaders (AGILE) Award, and delivers our keynote address about the power of shared values in building a winning corporate culture. The AGILE address is followed by the “What is Industry 4.0?” panel. Then, at 11:00 AM, the Fuels and Petrochemicals Division’s Welcome Session features a keynote by Jim Rekoske (Honeywell UOP). Considerations of process safety underscore practically all of our program tracks. This year’s Global Congress on Process Safety (GCPS) — organized by AIChE’s Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) and the Safety and Health Division — kicks off on Monday with a lenaryp and keynote talk by Michael Graff (American Air Liquide and Air Liquide Group). GCPS programming incorporates the 52nd Annual Loss Prevention Symposium, the 33rd CCPS International Conference, the 20th Process Plant Safety Symposium (highlighting “best papers” from the past two decades), the 7th Process Safety Management Mentoring Forum, and Process Safety Spotlight sessions. Perspectives on Process Safety from Around the Globe will feature a presentation by Wang Haoshui of China’s Administration of Work Safety, along with case studies from companies in Asia and the Americas. Debuting at this year’s Spring Meeting is a new Leadership Development conference, offering insights on career building. Other opicst essential to practicing ChemEs will be investigated in conferences devoted to distillation, sustainable engineering, and emerging technologies in clean energy, as well as at the 6th International Conference on Upstream Engineering and Flow Assurance, the 18th Gas Utilization Conference, the 21st Refinery Processing Conference, and the 30th Ethylene Producers Conference. Our meeting also makes room for the co-located 8th World Congress on Particle Technology (WCPT8), which delves into that field’s fundamentals and highlights applications in pharmaceuticals, sustainable energy, and more. Sessions — including five plenaries and 25+ keynotes —and exhibits of the WCPT8 are open to registrants of the Spring Meeting. Registrants who purchased a meeting bundle shouldn’t miss our keynote luncheons. Monday’s luncheon spotlights cybersecurity, with a talk by Andrew Lenzen, a special agent of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. Tuesday showcases the 20-year history of AIChE’s Women’s Initiatives Committee, with a keynote by Delia Contreras (Ecolab). Wednesday’s luncheon welcomes Jun Mutoh (JXTG Holdings), who will discuss safety culture “Beyond Operations Management Systems.” To keep track of all of these opportunities, download the AIChEvents app, which allows you to maintain a personal schedule, receive event reminders, and make the most of your time. I hope that you will devote some of that time to visiting our meeting’s exhibits, attending the poster sessions, and networking with friends — old and new — at some of the many social activities we’ve planned. On behalf of my colleagues on AIChE’s Board of Directors, the Institute extends its appreciation to the meeting programmers and the hundreds of presenters for sharing their knowledge at this meeting. And, speaking for myself, I am happy to be here with you this week, and look forward to meeting many of you to discuss our ever-evolving and dynamic profession and Institute.
