Forums
IFAC2023 offers forums on various topics throughout the conference. "IC Forums" are forums organized mainly by the Industry Committee (IndCom) in IFAC, which was established in IFAC 2017 in Toulouse (France) to enhance the value of IFAC to the industry. "IG Forums" are forums organized by the Industry Groups (IGs) with various companies in various fields in Japan in the IFAC 2023 Organizing Committee. Besides this, a number of engaging forums are also planned, such as the D&I Day event (including panels, networking, and awardee's speech), which is organized by the IFAC D&I Committee and the IFAC2023 D&I Committee, and a forum and a tutorial related to the control education organized by IFAC TC 9.4 Control Education.
