This is just an FYI for those who might want to pursue it. I received notice that LSU will be the host to a quarterly meeting of the Digital Twin Consortium this coming December 8-10. The information copied below and in the links represent the sum of
my knowledge as to its content. While there is a fee to attend the whole thing, there appears to be a session open to the public on 12/10. Model based systems engineering is also listed as a bullet point topic, along with energy applications and generative
AI amongst others.</div>

The Digital Twin Consortium is the leading global organization advancing the use of digital twins across industry, government, and academia, and LSU is a proud member. Several times a year the consortium gathers its members to share research, compare notes,
and shape where the technology goes next.</div>

Over three days you'll find working sessions on digital twins in energy, manufacturing, and transportation, a workshop on trusted AI and governance, testbed demonstrations, and a forward-looking track on multi-agent systems and generative AI.</div>

Digital twins touch nearly every industry that matters to our state, from energy and the ports to manufacturing and infrastructure. Having a meeting of this caliber in Baton Rouge is a rare chance for our students, faculty, and industry partners across Louisiana
to connect with the people building this field, without leaving home. If that sounds like you, come.</div>
