SETE is the premier conference for the Systems Engineering Society of Australia (SESA) and the Southern Cross Chapter of the International Test and Evaluation Association (ITEA) extending in 2024 to include Simulation Australasia (SimAust) as a collaborative partner.
The SETE24 theme “Advancing in an Emergent Digital World” invites submissions to explore the interplay between society, systems and an increasingly interconnected world. The theme is positioned to challenge the systems engineering, test & evaluation, and modelling & simulation communities to consider the dual ideas of how the digital world is advancing these fields, and how these fields are advancing the digital world.
SETE is a transdisciplinary forum for participants to extend networks, share current and future best practice in the engineering of complex capabilities, and learn from leading practitioners and academics across domains and sectors.
SETE24 is to be held Pullman on the Park in Melbourne from 22-25 September.
Conference Program Summary:
- Tutorials on Sunday 22 September (optional)
- Full Day Conference Monday 23 - Wednesday 25 September
Social Functions:
- Welcome Reception on Monday 23 September
- Gala Dinner on Tuesday 24 September
The conference program is available in the conference app for all delegates.
Mr Spiers is the Chief Operating Officer, Rail Infrastructure, Siemens Mobility, Australia & New Zealand and is a technologist at heart and is driven to ensure that technology is used to solve the world’s biggest problems and to leave the planet better than the way we found it.
Mr Spiers will be discussing, 'The future of emerging technology through an ethical lens: What have we just made possible?'.
Mr Sam Evans, famously known as The Electric Viking, is an Aussie guy passionate about cars, solar, wind, batteries, robotics and AI. As Peter Diamandis says, the future is better than you think.
Mr Evans will be discussing an overview of the current state and trends of renewable energy in Australia and the World.
