Keynote Speaker Nominations for CCEC 2022

Hello Systems & Control Community,

The CSChE’s Systems & Control division will be inviting a keynote speaker to the CCEC 2022 conference in Vancouver in October, and will provide some funding toward their visit.

If you have a nomination for a keynote speaker, please email Prof. Tom Adams (tadams@mcmaster.ca) a name, affiliation, and a sentence or two why you think this would be a good speaker for our community. Although we can invite anyone, because of budget constraints we would tend to encourage nominees within Canada or the USA.

The S&C division officers will make the final decision. We will also consider those names who were nominated last year so they do not need to be nominated a second time. Thanks!

CCEC 2022 Systems & Control Sessions Planning

Dear Systems & Control colleagues,

After our fantastic success last year, the CCEC 2022 planners have invited us to again plan, organize, and facilitate the Systems & Controls related sessions at the CCEC 2022 conference.

To do this, we’ll need volunteers! Last year we had an amazing 18 session chairs and I hope we can reach that number again.

We will be having a planning meeting on Tuesday March 22 from 4-5PM EST via Teams. All S&C members and/or anyone who is interested in volunteering as a session chair are invited to attend. We also will be doing another conference proceedings, so anyone who wishes to volunteer as an editor of those proceedings also should attend.

To receive the meeting link, please RSVP to Prof. Tom Adams at tadams@mcmaster.ca.

We strongly encourage grad student volunteer chairs as well! We would like to have at least one in each session, partnered with one or two professionals or professors.

The agenda for the meeting is:

  • Quick overview of what we did last year
  • Describe the plan for this year
  • Discussion with decisions made: Choosing the six topic names and chairs for our six allotted sessions.

If you want to participate or suggest a session title but cannot attend the meeting, please email Prof. Tom Adams so we can record you name and ideas. Thanks.
