In addition to a variety of technical sessions, NIWeek gives you multiple opportunities to meet industry and academic leaders, learn about engineers in the NI Community, and enhance your product knowledge and expertise during these special events and workshops.
Build Your Own Embedded System Workshop – Monday, August 6
The Build Your Own Embedded System (BYOES) Workshop focuses on extending your LabVIEW skills into FPGA-based design using NI Reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware. Develop and deploy an embedded system using the NI LabVIEW RIO Evaluation Kit (pictured) and take it home with you. The workshop lasts one full day and is held on Monday, August 6th. There is an additional fee associated with attending.
The Future of System Design Symposium – Tuesday, August 7
This new symposium brings together leading researchers, industry providers, and designers to explore the future of system design. Learn about the latest system design technologies and research including processors and FPGA convergence, high-level synthesis tools and flows, and approaches for increasing design productivity.

Although emerging countries account for 75 percent of the world’s population and 30 percent of the world’s economy, thousands of engineering students and professionals in these countries have little to no access to PCs, the Internet, instrumentation, or software tools.Through the Planet NI program, National Instruments is working to provide access to graphical system design technologies for innovators in emerging countries. These entrepreneurs can then develop technology-based companies that provide solutions for solving local economic, social, and environmental challenges.
In this forum, you can hear directly from the world’s top motivational speaker, environmentalist and global leader Robert Swan, as well as small and medium enterprise (SME) business owners, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and educators from countries such as Africa, Latin America, Arabia, India, and South East Asia. You can learn how access to technology is providing job opportunities, reducing social disparity, and helping students in rural and impoverished areas to innovate and participate in experimental learning.
This session will be held Wednesday August 8, from 10:30am -12:00pm in Room 3 of the Austin Convention Center.
