Navigate What’s Next at the CSIA 2026 Conference
The business and technology ecosystem around control system integration has been presenting new and evolving issues for engineering professionals and business owners. At the CSIA 2026 Conference, system integrators will come together to discuss the real challenges SIs face today, from workforce shifts and digital transformation to evolving client expectations and business risk.
What makes the CSIA Conference different is its peer-to-peer approach. Sessions are led by system integrators sharing practical experience with other system integrators. The focus is on what can work in the field – practical, proven, and applicable.
Centered on the theme Navigating Change, the CSIA 2026 Conference will provide the education, contacts, and tips to allow system integrators to face what’s next with clarity and confidence. Join us in Baltimore to gain practical strategies for what’s ahead and to deepen your network.
You and your team can expect:
- Peer-driven strategies for adapting to market and economic uncertainty
- Real-world insights on using technology to drive growth and efficiency
- Leadership perspectives from SI owners and executives
- Optional workshops exploring CSIA Best Practices and Marketing strategies
Designed for owners, executives, and emerging leaders, this conference helps you learn from peers and apply proven approaches to move forward with confidence.

“One of the biggest benefits of being a CSIA member is the CSIA Conference. It’s a big deal for us to really network and understand common issues that we’re all facing and discuss how can we solve them.”
–Ben Durbin, Cybertrol Engineering
“I had a wonderful opportunity to meet with fellow system integrators in New Orleans for CSIA’s 2023 Conference. On my journey to find Atlas’s tribe, I am glad to have stumbled upon an incredible group of people with passion, curiosity and enthusiasm, scrappy youngsters who are making a mark, and industry veterans who were frank and transparent to share their learnings with fellow small businesses. Looking forward to #CSIA2024 in Dallas!”
–Madhur Bedre, Atlas Prediction Control
