MESSAGE FROM THE IOMAC 2024 CHAIRS

After the previous events in Copenhagen (2005, 2007, 2019), Portonovo (2009), Istanbul (2011), Guimaraes (2013), Gijon (2015), Ingolstadt (2017), and Vancouver (2022), the IOMAC Association and the Organizing Committee are glad to announce that the 10th International Operational Modal Analysis Conference IOMAC 2024 is going to be held in Naples, Italy, on May 21-24, 2024.

The IOMAC 2024 Conference will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, knowledge sharing, and technology-need matchmaking in the global OMA community. It will serve as a unique venue to showcase the technologies and achievements in civil as well as industrial applications, demonstrate the practical value of OMA research, and raise the public awareness on the need for further OMA research and applications.

The theme of the conference is “Augmented OMA” and reflects the fact that the well-established OMA applicative perspectives and performance can be augmented by applying advanced AI technologies, modeling and optimization tools as well as innovative data processing approaches. These enlarge the classical domain of OMA towards the development of SHM technologies, digital twins and innovative assessment procedures for materials and products, remarking the primary role played by the discipline in the civil as well as industrial engineering fields. Qualification of construction products and components as well as measurement systems and data processing procedures is a recently evoked but urgent application domain OMA can significantly contribute to. Moreover, new sensing technologies as well as improvements of the existing ones give a significant impulse to the applications. The above considerations confirm that there is a tremendous opportunity to explore new applications of the technology, so the Conference is the ideal place where researchers, practicing engineers and technicians, students, industry, equipment vendors, and software developers can meet altogether to cross-fertilize ideas. All will have the opportunity to share their knowledge in this rather fascinating field and to improve their specific skills.

The three-day conference program will include keynote lectures from renowned speakers, invited lectures, panel discussions, technical presentations, technical exhibitions, and exciting leisure and networking events.

We are fully committed to make the Conference a professional success for all the delegates. Do not miss this unique opportunity: sign the date!

We look forward to welcoming you at IOMAC 2024!
