Our agenda is 100% focused on your biggest challenges and opportunities. You’ll walk away with pages of actionable strategies to help you become a smarter, more connected manufacturer.

A Program Tailored to Manufacturers of All Sizes

We bring together every facet of manufacturing, from Top 500 manufacturing companies, to the world’s most innovative start-ups.

No matter your industry, whether it be food & beverage, aerospace, automotives, engineering services - or any other, you’ll receive detailed, strategic content focused on all aspects of advancing to the next phase of manufacturing.

Cross-Sector Learning & Networking

Benefit from meeting Industry 4.0 leaders, and tons of peers, with over 10 hours of discussion groups, tracks, roundtables every day.

You’ll develop relationships, make new contacts and speak “off-the-record” with your peers from different sectors and verticals.
