Graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and early career researchers are warmly invited to a special breakfast session designed to kick off the first full day of the conference in a friendly and informal setting. This breakfast will be a perfect opportunity to meet new peers and to make a game plan for your conference agenda. It is also a chance to meet members of the newly formed NextCom committee within the Control Systems Society and learn about upcoming resources, workshops, and networking opportunities aimed at supporting early career members of our community.

Time: 5:30-7:30 pm

Location: Metro W

The Student Networking special session aims to provide all interested students attending ACC 2024 the opportunity to receive valuable career advice from experts in industry, academia, and national laboratories. Moreover, it seeks to enhance student engagement in the conference and promote awareness of the benefits of involvement in the control community by offering a platform that facilitates connections with peers and the attending professionals. In the first 25 minutes of this structured event, the invited professionals will present their backgrounds and areas of interest.

This will be followed by 3 rounds of rotating round-table conversations where, in each round, 7-8 students will have the opportunity for open discussion with a professional for 20 minutes before moving to another table. The final 30 minutes are reserved for open social networking to allow students to connect with peers and the remaining invited professionals with whom they did not interact during the round-table discussions. An assortment of snacks will be provided!

The event will be open to the first 125 students, registered using the link (available from Monday, 17th June, 8:00 am EST): https://forms.office.com/r/qJJjpu9JAN

Time: 8 - 11 pm (boarding begins at 7:30 pm)

Students and early-career researchers are warmly invited to special breakfast sessions on Thursday and Friday. Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Security and Privacy, the student-organized sessions will explore a new landscape of cyber-physical systems (CPS) research by bringing together young scholars working on the security and privacy of CPS and their applications in diverse areas. In addition to technical presentations, this student-organized workshop features a panel discussion and experience-sharing mixer on academic job-seeking and career development. The primary objective of these sessions is to engage early-career researchers from multiple topical areas in control society and create a vibrant and sustainable research thrust dedicated to the security, privacy, and resiliency of the next-generation cyber-physical systems.
