NDE 4.0 isn't a theme or a track — it's a discipline in its own right. This conference exists for the people working at the intersection of nondestructive evaluation and the technologies reshaping it: artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital twins, robotics, and the data systems that tie them together.

Over four days in Québec City, you'll hear from researchers presenting original work, see emerging technologies in practice, and connect with an international community that takes seriously the question of where this field is heading.
