on May 15, 2018The Academic Symposium at PI World 2018 is the largest and most diverse Academic Community event that OSIsoft has hosted to date. In all, we had around 220 attendees, of which ~25% were from academia and ~75% represented our industrial customers. We hosted an AM Industry Innovation session and a PM Workforce Development session. The day included several podium presentations, panel discussions, a workshop, and a networking dinner.
Presentation recordings are now available on the OSIsoft website. Just click the preview images below to stream the videos.
