Advanced Prototype Engineering Technology Symposium (APETS) 2026

The Advanced Prototype Engineering Technology Symposium (APETS) is a two-day event that brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government, industry, and peer organizations to showcase innovation from complex prototypes to technology transfer into operational systems. This year’s theme “Accelerating Innovation: Prototyping to Technology Transfer” focuses on advancing the engineering research, technologies, and processes that turn novel concepts into deployable capabilities. Attendees will share and discover enabling technologies, leading-edge capabilities, and advanced prototyping methods that strengthen the path from concept to real-world impact. This in-person event is hosted at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA. For more information, please contact [email protected].
