A premier joint event is planned for April 2024 — the Quality Information Framework (QIF) Summit along with the highly popular Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) Summit, featuring technical content organized by the Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC) and the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), respectively.

The event venue will be the Chicago Manufacturing x Digital (MxD) facility. It will include three and a halfSource: DMSC days of MBE and QIF technical presentations, panel discussions and informational sessions from NIST and DMSC.

The MBE Summit is scheduled for Tuesday, April 16, and Wednesday, April 17. The QIF Summit will follow on Thursday, April 18, and Friday, April 19, morning. One registration fee ($200) covers both events.

The MBE Summit brings academia, government, and industry experts into a forum to discuss challenges, implementation and lessons learned in a Model-Based Enterprise. It includes all aspects of the product lifecycle from design, manufacturing, quality assurance and sustainment of products, where a digital 3D model acts as the authoritative source of information.

The QIF Summit brings together those people and organizations interested in developing and using an open standard to facilitate the seamless movement of a model-based definition and manufacturing quality data. QIF 3.0 is a structured way to achieve that objective. Everyone interested in the standard and who wants to help improve and expand is invited to attend this year’s QIF Summit by DMSC.

The combined programs will include up to 26 technical presentations from subject matter experts from both large and small companies and in different disciplines. Several QIF round table discussions are planned, and attendee participation is encouraged.

Due to space constraints, registration will be limited to 200 attendees, and a sold-out event is anticipated.
