Zuken USA, Inc. opens the Zuken Innovation World (ZIW) Americas 2026 Call for Papers to help engineers, managers, and leaders showcase proven results and advance industry best practices. ZIW is Zuken USA’s semi-annual Digital Engineering conference on electrical and electronic design for engineers, managers, and industry leaders. It focuses on current practices and emerging trends with practical takeaways.

ZIW Americas invites submissions of compelling abstracts for 45-minutes sessions that highlight measurable outcomes from real projects. Selected speakers gain sustained visibility through Zuken’s pre- and post-event promotions across email, web, and social, plus on-site exposure at the conference. Accepted speakers receive a complimentary conference pass and white-glove support from Zuken’s team, including a speaker concierge, slide review, tech check, and an on-site host.

Proposed session topics should map to one of four tracks while aligning to themes such as AI-assisted productivity, connected manufacturing, digital engineering, reliability, and first-pass success. Presentations must be noncommercial and provide valuable insights into technology, techniques, or methodologies. Individual or team presentations are welcome. 

The ZIW 2026 agenda tracks include:

1. Electrical wire harness system design and manufacturing
2. Electrical control panel design and manufacturing
3. PCB layout, and IC packaging system design
4. Digital Engineering, systems engineering, and the digital thread

“ZIW shines a light on practitioners who turn ideas into outcomes,” said Bob Potock, vice president of marketing at Zuken USA. “If your team improved accuracy, condensed build times, or connected design to manufacturing, we want your story on stage.”

“Our speakers don’t go it alone,” said Amy Clements, director of marketing communications at Zuken USA. “We provide a speaker concierge, content reviews, and rehearsal support so presenters can focus on delivering clear results and practical takeaways.”
