IMAC


 
Teaching Structures to Educate Us: Learning Dynamics from Experiments
Embassy Suites by Hilton Lake Buena Vista South, Kissimmee, FL  |  February 1-4, 2027

 


 

IMAC is a conference and exposition focusing on structural dynamics and has evolved to encompass the latest technologies supporting structural dynamics. This broad focus on structural dynamics includes topics in simulation and modeling, nonlinear dynamics, sensors, signal processing and control spanning the full range of engineering disciplines.

IMAC remains a friendly conference where exhibitors, presenters and attendees spend several days exchanging the ideas that fuel the coming year.
