Program
You will leave this conference rejuvenated and filled with fresh ideas you can put to use immediately. Take the best and re-energize your career with new ways to address your most challenging issues. The conference program is sure to provide you with countless ideas and solutions that translate into improved efficiency, productivity, quality and competitiveness for your organization. There are many events happening at the same time, so plan your time well. The IERC and Applied Solutions sessions are timed so that they start and end at times that allow you to attend sessions in both programs.
All educational sessions will be held at the Grand Sierra Resort Hotel.
The IIE Annual Conference welcomes two different types of submissions: 1) Applied Solutions presentations, in which industry applications of proven solutions are presented, and 2) IERC presentations, in which research from academia or industry scholars is presented. Abstracts are being accepted in both categories. Please review the information below and submit your abstract to the most appropriate type of presentation.
Applied Solutions Sessions
The purpose of the Applied Solutions sessions is to present proven solutions from applying industrial and systems engineering principles within industry, healthcare or service companies. Submissions must include an abstract, a description and three to five presentation objectives.

ABET - Preparing for ABET Accreditation Visits
The IIE Accreditation Advisory Council will sponsor a workshop, Sunday afternoon, May 22, 2011, in Crystal Ballroom 3 of the Grand Sierra Hotel.
The session is designed to help industrial engineering and industrial engineering technology department chairs and assessment coordinators prepare for upcoming ABET accreditation visits.
This session is limited to 35 people. Participants need to pre-register by contacting Bonnie Cameron, IIE Headquarters Operations Administrator, at bcameron@iienet.org.
Colloquia
Doctoral Colloquium
The Council of Industrial Engineering Academic Department Heads (CIEADH) and the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) requests nominations for the 10th Annual Doctoral Colloquium to be held Saturday, May 21, 2011, preceding the IIE Annual Conference and Expo in Reno, Nev.
This all-day event is designed for doctoral candidates expecting to graduate by spring of 2012. Panels of experts will lead discussions on various topics of interest, including the job search, life in academia and industry, the tenure process, teaching, research, and professional service.
The nomination process will begin late summer. Nominations must be made by department chairs.
New Faculty Colloquium
The Council of Industrial Engineering Academic Department Heads (CIEADH) and the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) requests nominations for the 9th Annual New Faculty Colloquium to be held Saturday, May 21, 2011, preceding the IIE Annual Conference and Expo in Reno, Nev.
This all-day event is designed for new faculty, specifically junior faculty within their first three years on a tenure track Assistant Professor appointment, to provide information that can be useful for successfully navigating the challenges of an academic career and gaining tenure and promotion. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions, network with peers, and interact with senior-level professors.
The nomination process will begin late summer. Nominations must be made by department chairs.
Vendor Presentations
Connect with the ideal resource for the latest in products and services for your projects. If you've been sourcing vendors for a special project, process improvement, training or new product development, be sure to make time to attend one of these sessions. It gives you time to get all your questions answered which will shorten your decision-making process. You're both at the conference. Why not save on travel and time by meeting during this dedicated time.
