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.

Attending the ELSS conference is recommended "whether you're using Lean, Six Sigma, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence or, like the best process improvement experts, breaking down silos with a tool selection from multiple boxes," says ELSS 2020 Conference Chair James Swisher, PE, PMP. 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."
