At OPTIMIZE 2019, we’re looking forward to an in-depth dialog on how companies are tackling digital transformation. Our customers are accelerating their effort. They know they need to be more agile due to market dynamics, global competition and the call for more sustainable business practices.

Real-world examples from our customers are one the most compelling parts of our user conference. If your organization has realized strong returns from your digital investment, you’re a great candidate to speak at OPTIMIZE 2019 in Houston, TX in May. If you’re just starting your digital journey, don’t worry. There will be plenty of conference sessions designed to help you build a solid base for growth.

Advanced technologies — from advanced process control to the cloud to edge computing – can drive great value, but not everyone knows where to start. Our customers consistently come to OPTIMIZE to explore new ways to succeed in complex, industrial environments. As process industries look to capitalize on the convergence of technology, including machine learning, IIoT and advanced analytics, OPTIMIZE 2019 is an essential opportunity to learn and share best practices and emerging trends.

We’re looking for customers who have used AspenTech solutions to drive innovation, increase production, improve safety or realize other key benefits to share what they’ve learned. Your story could provide inspiration – or even a road map – for others to move to a new best practice.
