Recommended sessions
Lockheed Martin mentions
Executive sessions
Main-stage and domain leadership sessions to prioritize.
Start here for the strategic Siemens Xcelerator story, then use the domain cards to find the agenda sessions most relevant to Lockheed Martin leaders and technical owners.
Mainstage keynote
Tony Hemmelgarn
President and CEO, Siemens Digital Industries Software
Industrial intelligence, digital twin strategy, trusted lifecycle data, and the role of AI in engineering and manufacturing transformation.
Product leadership keynote
Joe Bohman
Executive Vice President, PLM Products, Siemens Digital Industries Software
What is ahead for Siemens Software, including product direction, platform priorities, and AI-powered enhancements across engineering workflows.
Both keynotes are in Hall B. Room numbers in the agenda (e.g. 413 A/B, 250 A) are on the numbered upper floors — use the floor plans to get oriented before your first session.
Teamcenter and PLM
Leadership-level sessions on BOM, configuration, Polarion, Active Workspace, lifecycle collaboration, and the enterprise digital thread.
Capital and electrical systems
Capital keynote and electrical design sessions covering E/E complexity, 3D electrical design, routing, wiring, and automation.
NX and manufacturing engineering
NX CAD, NX CAM, Designcenter NX, AI-assisted machining, MBD, and CAD-to-part digital manufacturing workflows.
Digital manufacturing and operations
Opcenter, Insights Hub, Easy Plan, Tecnomatix, MES, production digital twin, and AI-enabled manufacturing operations.
Simulation, SPDM, and MBSE
Simcenter, SPDM, SysML, MBSE, reliability digital twins, AI-assisted verification, and high-fidelity simulation strategy.
AI and digital transformation
Cross-domain AI, copilots, analytics, agentic workflows, production intelligence, and executive-level modernization themes.
Lockheed Martin track
Sessions to put on the short list.
These are sessions where Lockheed Martin appears in the title, speakers, or description.
Attendee planning
Useful details from the official Realize LIVE FAQ.
These items are the practical "before you go" details Lockheed Martin attendees should confirm before travel and revisit on-site.
Registration and app access
Registration for Realize LIVE Americas is scheduled to close Friday, May 29, 2026, unless the event sells out earlier. Registered attendees receive access to the mobile app for agenda planning and networking.
Travel and hotel readiness
Use your registration confirmation for hotel-rate links and official travel details. The venue is Huntington Place, 1 Washington Blvd, Detroit, MI 48226.
On-site comfort
Plan for business casual dress and comfortable shoes. Wi-Fi is expected in main conference areas, and coat/luggage check is expected to be available throughout the event.
Meals and dietary needs
Full conference registration includes daily lunches, refreshment breaks, and evening networking receptions. Dietary requirements should be selected during registration.
Networking targets
Use the app and venue time to connect through the Solutions Center, Connections Lounge, Community Corner, Innovation Hub, sponsor areas, and receptions.
Post-event follow-up
Some general and breakout sessions are expected to be recorded. Presentations and files may appear later in the event site or the session downloads area when presenters make them available.
Lockheed checklist
Before arriving in Detroit
- Install the Realize LIVE app and save the seven Lockheed-relevant sessions.
- Confirm hotel, travel, registration confirmation, and any dietary requirements.
- Identify Siemens contacts and internal Lockheed owners for each priority topic.
- Prepare questions for digital thread, SPDM, Capital, Easy Plan, flight test, and PSDM sessions.
Full agenda explorer
Search every pulled session.
Use the controls to narrow by day, format, and topic area. Calendar files can be created from sessions with complete date data.
Adjacent aerospace insight
Understanding the Boeing and Northrop sessions.
These sessions can help Lockheed Martin attendees benchmark how other aerospace and defense organizations are approaching similar digital thread, manufacturing, and support challenges.
Boeing0 sessions
Watch for production-scale digital thread patterns.
Boeing sessions are useful for seeing how large aerospace programs are connecting PLM, MBSE, manufacturing planning, quality, electrical design, and service lifecycle workflows across program execution.
- MBSE and PLM integration for digital engineering.
- Opcenter, Mendix, and BOP management for connected manufacturing.
- Capital automation, electrical publishing, and MBE realization.
- Teamcenter, Easy Plan, and service lifecycle topics for operational scale.
Northrop Grumman0 sessions
Look for lessons in deployment, data reuse, and adoption.
Northrop sessions can be read as peer examples for digital transformation, supply chain intelligence, Teamcenter adoption, and cross-functional operating models in A&D contexts.
- Digital transformation lessons in mission systems environments.
- Supplier and product-data visibility across engineering and operations.
- Change management patterns for enterprise PLM adoption.
- Session questions that translate well into Lockheed planning discussions.
How to use these sessions
Questions to bring back to the Lockheed team
Which parts of their workflow resemble ours closely enough to benchmark?
Where are they solving integration, governance, or adoption problems differently?
Which Siemens capabilities are being used as platform patterns rather than point tools?
What should we ask Siemens account and product teams after hearing the peer examples?
Evening events
Make room for the fun parts of Realize LIVE.
The evening receptions are useful for informal Siemens conversations, peer networking, and reconnecting with the Lockheed team after the day's sessions.
Monday
Welcome reception
Start the week by getting oriented, meeting Siemens teams, and finding other Lockheed attendees before the agenda gets busy.
Tuesday
Partner and sponsor reception
Use this night for partner conversations, customer-to-customer networking, and follow-up from the first full day of sessions.
Tuesday
Aerospace, Defense, Marine, Federal meetup
Stay after the partner reception for the A&D-focused industry meetup, a useful place for mission-critical engineering and digital transformation conversations.
Wednesday
Closing celebration
Wrap the week with the bigger social event, compare notes, and capture the follow-ups to bring back to the team.
Lockheed tip:Use the WhatsApp group to coordinate meetups before each reception and to share where the team is gathering.
