Welcome Message from ICIT 2020 General Co-Chairs

The IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT) is one of the flagship conferences of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES). This prestigious event is held every year in a different part of the world. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of emerging industrial technologies and for professional interactions. Additionally, it serves as a conduit for channeling advanced technology to the regional industry.

On behalf of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, we warmly welcome all of you to ICIT 2020, February 26-28, 2020 in Buenos Aires Institute of Technology (ITBA), Buenos Aires, Argentina. This year’s ICIT arrives for the first time to Argentina, with a selection of near 200 papers, that were topically accepted through 12 technical tracks and 6 special sessions. A plethora of activities includes keynotes, tutorials, panels, and several one-day-activities.

ICIT 2020 attendees are invited to network at a variety of social events, including the welcome reception (Wednesday, Feb. 26), Fine Wine Tasting (Thursday, Feb 27), One full Day at Estancia in Buenos Aires Country side, covering technical and Social Activities. Attendees, our distinguished guests, will enjoy delicatessens in morning and afternoon coffee/tea breaks, and lunches. The venue is at Madero Campus of the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology, the only private University in Argentina specialized in Engineering, Technology and Management. For over 60 years the University has been shaping students with values such as innovation, creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and leadership with degrees in Bachelor, Master and PhD programs.

Buenos Aires, the birthplace of Tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are full of romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires’ European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Essentially safe and tourist-friendly, sights, nightlife, gastronomy and the arts are concentrated in a few central neighborhoods. Palermo has jacaranda-perfumed parks, trendy bars and independent boutiques. Recoleta houses old money, grand hotels and a grandiose necropolis. Puerto Madero is slickly urban but has a nature reserve. San Telmo is old Buenos Aires, ideal for a steak dinner and a tango show. Artsy Avenida Corrientes ‘never sleeps’. But, actually, all of Buenos Aires is insomniac, you can enjoy a good meal or find a place to have coffee with friends 24 hours a day, all year round.

We would like to thank the numerous volunteers and sponsors that have made ICIT 2020 a unique experience to attendees. With kind regards,
