Automate 2026: Where Software Meets the Physical World
The Automate 2026 (June 22–25 in Chicago) is set to showcase how software, AI, and robotics are converging to transform real-world operations.
Organized by Association for Advancing Automation, this event brings together engineers, developers, and industry leaders working at the intersection of automation and intelligent systems.
What to expect:
Live demonstrations of robotics, machine vision, and AI-powered automation, alongside technical sessions focused on real-time systems, edge computing, and industrial software.
Why it matters:
Software is no longer confined to applications on a screen. It is increasingly driving physical systems—from manufacturing lines to autonomous machines. This shift is creating new opportunities (and challenges) for developers building systems that must operate in real time, at scale, and with high reliability.
The bigger trend:
As AI becomes embedded in automation, the boundary between software engineering and industrial systems continues to blur. Developers are now playing a direct role in shaping how machines interact with the physical world.
