The PHM Society provides an opportunity to hear and interact with recognized industry leaders in relevant areas for our PHM work. These 90 minute panel sessions will consist of presentations and open discussion by 4-6 panelists directly engaging with the conference audience on six different topics listed below.

These sessions add an enriching dimension to the conference experience and a welcome networking alternative to traditional paper presentations, which dominate some conferences. We believe balancing the conference time in this fashion provides participants a much more engaging experience and increased opportunity to gain unique knowledge

We are planning some exciting panel sessions for the conference. Two are already confirmed (Sensors for PHM, and PHM in the Automotive area) and more are being planned. If you have suggestions for interesting panel sessions, please contact the conference organizers.
