Learn new solutions for your industrial automation projects from an expert community at the annual Ignition Community Conference.

Are you ready to "level up" your game when it comes to your industrial control systems? Looking for ways to overcome the obstacles of manual processes and competing control systems? Still trying to get live data from outdated or legacy systems?

Inductive Automation's one-of-a-kind Ignition Community Conference (ICC) is back and bigger than ever. Find the solutions you need from a rapidly growing and worldwide community of Ignition software experts and their ecosystem of technology partners.

See what ICC 2025 has in store.

Mark your calendars for September 16–18, 2025.

Why should you attend?

The Ignition community is the most innovative and collaborative group in the automation industry, and ICC is where they gather every year to learn and share about Ignition. From new users to seasoned integrators, you'll find opportunities to network and learn from industry professionals.

This year's conference theme is "Level Up" and promises to:

• Level up your insights (a full schedule of speaker sessions and table talk topics to choose from)
• Level up your technology (hear about new Ignition features and upcoming releases)
• Level up your discoveries (the annual Discover Gallery returns with new Ignition case studies from a variety of industries)

What else is new?

This year, the conference is changing scenery. It is headed to downtown Sacramento's SAFE Credit Union Convention & Performing Arts District. This bigger space means more attendees, vendors, and room at popular speaker sessions. Its convenient location also means short distances to nearby hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

Where will you find Opto 22?

Be sure to stop by booth #3, where several members of Team Opto will be ready to demo products and address your specific application questions or challenges. Get ready for real conversations that can lead to better ideas and solutions.

Open-source collaboration will be a key component of this event. Experience first-hand how groov EPIC and groov RIO integrate with Ignition to achieve your digital transformation goals. 

There will also be plenty of other Inductive Automation Solution Partners on hand to demonstrate how they fit into the complete Ignition architecture.

The conference agenda will be released soon. Be sure to check the ICC website for updates and plan your ICC experience. You'll want to make time for Opto 22's session, "Ready to Level Up Your Machine Monitoring Game?"

While Ignition excels at connecting PLC-based equipment, many assets without PLCs or smart devices can be far more challenging. 

Join our session to discover how to use edge industrial I/O to securely link almost any equipment to Ignition—including simple sensors—enhancing your plant's production tracking and operational awareness. 

But wait, there's more!

It was recently announced that this year's ICC is teaming up with the ProveIt conference. That means you'll be treated to 17 live showcases. These will be real-world demos featuring Industry 4.0 tech, powered by live data from the ProveIt! Virtual Factory and built on Ignition. Watch it all unfold in real time.

For a taste of what this means, check out Opto 22's live demo from the 2025 ProveIt! Conference earlier this year.

And the grand finale...

If you're an ICC veteran, you know the buzz at the conference ultimately ends up being about the Build-a-Thon. Watch two system integrator teams compete live on stage. Which teams will make it this year?

Keep up with the 2025 Elimination Challenge, which takes place on August 7, 2025, to find out. It will be broadcast live on Inductive Automation's YouTube channel. You'll witness 26 Ignition integrators competing for the coveted top two spots, landing them on the Build-a-Thon stage in September.

This year's Build-a-Thon promises more surprises and challenges for the two system integrator teams that make it to the finals. For the fourth year in a row, Opto 22 engineers are busy designing and building the sets for this year's EPIC adventure.

Remember last year's Build-a-Thon involving the EPIC Convenience Store? Check out this OptoBlog post for a recap of what went on behind the scenes leading up to the live event.

You can also watch the 2024 Build-a-Thon recording. Then get ready to be motivated to learn and discover all the ways Ignition can take your projects to the next level.

You've got options

As in previous years, you can choose to purchase tickets to attend ICC in person or virtually.
But don't wait too long to decide. This event sells out every year.

We can't wait to see you in Sacramento!
