Considered a global hub for sharing organizational transformation discoveries fueled by Lean and Six Sigma thinking, the ELSS Conference is conducted annually by the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE). Lean Six Sigma improves the quality of management, working processes and applies resources in a targeted way that can dramatically increase the productive and creative potential across a business population.

The conference attracts industrial, management, manufacturing and quality engineers, healthcare professionals, consultants, operational and supply chain managers and professional educators.

Swisher, president of Hawkeye Business Solutions, notes that the AI Symposium – added to ELSS in 2020 – features "AI all-stars from IBM, Chick-fil-A, Carnegie Mellon University and the Dearborn AI Research Center."
