Fort Worth will host IEEE MetroCon 2026 on November 5, bringing engineers, technology professionals and industry leaders together around AI, cybersecurity, chips, energy and emerging technology.
Fort Worth's technology calendar is getting another major event this fall.
IEEE MetroCon 2026 is scheduled for November 5 at the Fort Worth Convention Center.
The event's program covers a broad range of technology areas, including aerospace and defense, power and electrification, semiconductor technology, biotechnology, wireless systems, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.
That range is particularly relevant to Fort Worth.
The city sits at the intersection of several industries that increasingly depend on advanced technology.
Aerospace companies need secure networks and intelligent systems. Manufacturers need automation. Data centers need power infrastructure. Healthcare organizations need connected systems and cybersecurity.
Events like MetroCon provide an opportunity for those industries to interact with engineers and technology professionals outside their normal circles.
AGG Town Tech Take:
A strong local technology ecosystem needs more than companies. It needs people, events, ideas and connections. Fort Worth's growing technology calendar is a good sign.
