Timing at the Edge: Enabling AI, Autonomy, and Resilience.
Registration is now open for the Workshop on Synchronization and Timing Systems (WSTS). The workshop, the leading North American timing and sync event with global representation, takes place May 4-7, at The Westin Bellevue in Bellevue, WA. Access the agenda.
THE EVENT: WSTS has a 30+ year track record for bringing together the top experts in the field of timing and synchronization to discuss its critical 
impact on the sectors of the economy most relevant to North American economic success.
“Precise timing is the backbone that enables the functioning of our most critical industries and is now the foundation enabling resilient AI systems and autonomous technologies,” said Marc Weiss, Ph.D., Chair of the WSTS Steering Group. “As AI and autonomy accelerate across critical infrastructure, the need for accurate, trusted, and resilient timing escalates in importance. To miss out on the expert insights of WSTS 2026 is to miss out on understanding the pivotal role of timing and sync technologies in defining our future.”
SESSION TRACKS: WSTS covers all major aspects of sync and timing:
- Aerospace Defense
- Data Center-FinTech
- CPNT & APNT
