While the memories of an incredible week in Yokohama are still fresh, it is officially time to turn our sights toward the next horizon. Mark your calendars and start brainstorming your submissions for the INCOSE International Symposium 2027!

📍 Where: Omni Shoreham Hotel • Washington, D.C., USA
📅 When: July 17–22, 2027
💡 Theme: Architecting Intelligence: Engineering Complex Systems

IS 2027 convenes the global systems engineering community at a critical inflection point. Intelligent technologies are reshaping every domain—from autonomous platforms and cyber-physical systems to digitally integrated enterprises and human-machine teaming environments. Systems engineers are no longer just building systems; we are architecting intelligence itself.

Whether you work in AI and autonomy, digital engineering, resilience, human systems integration, sustainability, healthcare, infrastructure, defense, or any domain where systems thinking drives impact—we want your voice. We encourage papers, presentations, tutorials, and panels that bridge disciplinary boundaries, connect theory with practice, and bring perspectives from communities not traditionally represented in engineering forums.

Submissions are not officially open just yet, but now is the perfect time to start collaborating, drafting, and planning your ideas. Make sure to follow INCOSE right here to get the official alert the moment our EasyChair submission portal opens!

Throughout June, SE Topic Talk is exploring the diverse world of Systems Engineering Careers. After discussing where systems engineers come from and the wide range of job paths available, this week we are looking at practical application to daily project reality.

A successful career in systems engineering navigates intense schedule pressures, managing risk, and making real-world decisions that protect product quality. When systems principles are applied practically, they transform how teams build complex technology.

The real-world impact of a systems mindset includes shifting defect detection to early design and architecture phases to save hundreds of downstream engineering hours; having data-backed confidence to establish realistic commitments when faced with aggressive organizational schedules; applying architectural wisdom and design thinking to ensure technologies like AI are integrated safely and effectively.

If you want a first-hand look at how these principles play out in a real-world career, look no further than Episode 4 of the INCOSE Podcast, where we sit down with Julia Mullaney, co-founder of Exceptional Difference and former leadership expert at IBM and the Software Engineering Institute.

Julia shares an incredible, data-driven perspective on what it actually takes to lead with value, rely on data as your protector, and apply engineering rigor to everyday technical challenges.
