The International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation (ICE) also known as International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation / IEEE International Technology Management Conference (ICE/IEEE ITMC), formerly the International Conference on Concurrent Enterprising (ICE) and the International Conference on Concurrent Engineering (ICE),¹⁾ is a place where research, science and innovation is called for original ideas, papers, debates, initiatives and projects. Authors, workshop / tutorial organizers, and participants are invited to contribute to the shaping of the prospective on engineering, technology and innovation solutions for industry and societal challenges.

The conference was originally organized by the European Society of Concurrent Enterprising Network (ESoCE-NET), formerly the European Society for Concurrent Engineering (ESoCE or ESoCE-NET). Since 2010 it runs with the support of the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS), formerly the IEEE Technology Management Council (TMC), and since 2015 it is part of the IEEE TEMS. ESoCE-NET seems to be dissolved.

Since 2014 the conference is held in conjunction with the NITIM-Doctoral School, a three-day doctoral school of the NITIM (European graduate school on Networks, Information, Technology and Innovation Management).
