* DRESS:  Please note that, although this may be sunny Florida, it does get cold here, even in February.  Please be sure to check the weather before packing for your trip.  Last year, in Auburn, it was freezing and most of wished we had checked the weather beforehand. 

Icebreaker  (top)

Attendees from various schools get a chance to meet one another in a fun and interactive way. Conference participants will eat a light meal accompanied by opening comments from the University of Florida chapter.

Technical Paper Competition (top)

Competition participants will present their papers to a panel of distinguished judges in the field of Industrial Engineering. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top presentations and the overall winner will receive an invitation to present at the National IIE Conference later in the year.

Lunches and Dinners (top)

Throughout the conference we will host several lunches and dinners where conference participants can sit down for a social meal.   We are planning on having a speaker at every hosted meal.

Photo Scavenger Hunt (top)

Conference attendants become acclimated with the University of Florida campus and learn about the university’s history via an activity around campus (really, it's a good excuse to get outside).

Workshops (top)

Brief interactive discussions sponsored by companies providing representatives.  Corporate representatives will present on their choice of a wide variety of topics related to the field of industrial and systems engineering.  Topics TBD. 

Gallery Social (top)

This is an opportunity for students, faculty, and corporate representatives to network in a relaxed setting in the Reitz Union Gallery.

Job Fair (top)

The job fair will be a career fair only for industrial and systems engineers. This event will allow the students attending the conference to speak in an informal setting to the corporate sponsors and learn more about companies in which they are interested.

Dinner and Awards Banquet (top)

Highlighted by our keynote speaker, this professional-attire banquet is a way for the University of Florida chapter of IIE to wrap up the conference with a formal dinner and presentation of various awards given throughout the conference.

Social Time (top)

This is the fun part of the conference.  We will find a good place to hit up each night and invite all conference participants to join in.  This could include bars, clubs, and UF-sponsored events.  The activities will be announced at the conference. 

Delegates Meeting (top)

IIE National requires that at every regional conference there is a delegates meeting where every school convenes to decide where to host the next conference and discuss the activities of the past year.  Only one delegate from each school needs to attend.  This will overlap with the technical paper competition, so if one of the delegates is also presenting, we will schedule that delegate for an early presentation time.
