Siemens Digital Industries Software’s flagship user conference, Realize LIVE Americas 2026 convenes design, manufacturing, and lifecycle management professionals in Detroit, June 1–4. The event centers on digital transformation through the Industrial AI-powered Digital Twin, integrated Digital Thread, and cloud-native tools. Attendees move between technical tracks, hands-on training, expert-led sessions, and a Solutions Center showcasing Siemens innovation alongside partner exhibits. A Braindate networking feature — sponsored by Microsoft — enables topic-driven one-on-one and small-group conversations. Keynote speakers include executives from PepsiCo, Shape Corporation, and Haddy, alongside Siemens leadership. The through-line: practitioners comparing notes on journeys already underway, not destinations still theoretical.
