About the Intelligent Ships Symposium

The Intelligent Ships Symposium (ISS), hosted biennially by the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE), is a technical forum for the people designing, integrating, and sustaining smarter naval platforms. ISS brings government, industry, and academia together in Philadelphia to share work in shipboard automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning, digital engineering and digital twins, autonomy, cybersecurity, integrated power, and condition-based maintenance.

ISS 2027 will feature keynote addresses, expert panels, technical paper presentations, and exhibitors showing the technologies behind warfighter readiness and future fleet capability. Whether you are a researcher, engineer, acquisition professional, or operator, ISS is a chance to connect with the community moving intelligent systems from the lab to the fleet.

ISS 2027 returns to the Delta Hotels Philadelphia Airport, and dates will be announced soon. Follow ASNE on LinkedIn for updates.

⚠️ Attendee & Exhibitor List Scam Alert — ISS 2027

Outside companies sometimes contact exhibitors and attendees of industry events offering to sell attendee lists, exhibitor directories, or "guaranteed" leads. These companies are not affiliated with ASNE.

• ASNE never sells, rents, or shares exhibitor or attendee contact information with any third party, for any purpose.
• ASNE will never ask you to pay to "confirm" a tabletop listing or to buy a list of attendee contacts.

These messages often arrive by phone or email, may mention ISS or ASNE by name, and can look convincing. Don't click any links or send payment or personal information.

Questions about a suspicious contact? Email asnehq@navalengineers.org or exhibits@navalengineers.org.
