Designing Productivity 2026 – June 12

Designing Productivity conference at Dal

Designing Productivity is an annual conference for networking and local speakers in the field of Industrial Engineering.

We are making a comeback! Let’s show Nova Scotia how we can help in every sense- manufacturing, health care, logistics, industry 5.0, human factors, business improvement, networking, project management, leadership, and so many more. We haven’t been in the same room for 2 years, so we are working on great speakers, some breakout sessions/ panels and lots of great networking to help everyone catch up.

For those travelling, we are working on a deal with Dalhousie Residence Summer Stays. Bring your students, and they can explore all of the scenery and excitement of summer in Halifax.

Thank you to our very patient Sponsors- Scotia Plastics, Davis Pier Consulting and Nova Scotia Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration Occupational Health and Safety Team
