IEOM World Congress on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management 2026

The congress is scheduled in Irvine, California, USA.

Professional member registration costs US$600 until September 15, 2026, while professional non-member registration costs US$700. Student member registration costs US$275, and student non-member registration costs US$350. Exhibitor or University Partner participation costs US$2,000.

The stated audience includes academics, researchers, and practitioners in industrial engineering and operations management.

Senior practitioners seeking in-depth industry networking or a large exhibit floor would get less from it, since the theme of advanced manufacturing and industrial AI is pursued through short paper sessions at a hotel venue; students can attend for US$275 to US$350.

Attendees at academic engineering congresses usually wear business casual, with a jacket or smarter outfit for presenters and the awards dinner. Irvine in October is warm, so light fabrics are practical.
