In mid-September, David Hendrick, Manager - Engineering, and Chris Murphy, Lead Control Systems Engineer, attended the Ignition Community Conference (ICC) 2025 in Sacramento, the largest ICC to date, bringing together more than 1,500 automation professionals from around the world. The event ran from September 16 to 18 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention & Performing Arts District in California.
Unveiling New Horizons
A major highlight was the official release of Ignition 8.3, featuring advancements in data processing, enterprise security, and project deployment. Attendees also explored thought-provoking keynotes on real world applications of AI in industry, the ways the Ignition platform enables digital transformation, as well as the new Ignition Solution Suites, designed to make modular deployment faster and more flexible.
Skill-Building and Collaboration
Beyond the sessions, our engineers joined hands-on workshops like the Co-Lab, connected with peers at Table Talks, and visited the Discover Gallery, where cutting-edge projects from across industries were showcased. Each experience offered insights and inspiration that we’re eager to bring back to our projects across Australia. Another highlight was watching two teams go head to head in the Build-a-Thon.
Looking Ahead
Being part of ICC 2025 has helped to equip our team with the knowledge, connections, and global perspective to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in automation. We’re excited to apply these learnings and continue delivering world-class solutions for industries across Australia.
