As we start a new decade and experience the once futuristic year of 2020, SAIIE31 will encourage us to think more strategically and creatively about how we will embrace the balance of the 21st century in a way that will both protect and revive our planet.  SAIIE31 once again brings together the finest thinkers, doers, dreamers and learners in the field of industrial engineering to reimagine making things both better and differently.

Join us for three spectacular days filled with thought-provoking presentations, engaging and challenging conversations and endless possibilities to think in new and greenways.  The conference will be followed by our highly successful industry tour day on 8 October providing you with a chance to spend the day broadening your mind and sharing ideas with other industrial engineering professionals.

And as expected, SAIIE31 will include exciting activities so that everyone can have just that little bit of fun while plotting to change the world!

We encourage academia and industry, the young and the wise – everyone who is enthusiastic about sharing and learning – to contribute to the conference with a full paper or presentation

Full papers will require the submission of an abstract that will, if accepted, be followed by the submission of a full paper subject to a peer-review process. Papers that have passed through the peer review process will be published in the conference proceedings.

The best papers will be reviewed and published as full journal papers in a special edition of the ISI-listed South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, without further reviewing.
