About The Connected Manufacturing Forum
About the Connected Manufacturing Forum.
Built for manufacturing, operations, engineering, and digital transformation leaders, Connected Manufacturing Forum brings together 200+ senior executives responsible for modernizing factory systems and delivering ROI from Industry 4.0 initiatives. The event focuses on real-world integration of AI, automation, IIoT, and data, grounded in practical use cases from live production environments.
Built In-House. Designed for the Factory
Connected Manufacturing Forum is produced entirely in-house by Worldwide Business Research. From research and agenda development to onsite delivery, everything is designed by a team that understands manufacturing’s complexity. No outsourcing, no handoffs—just a focused, end-to-end experience built around the realities of modern factory operations.
What Makes Us
Different
Connected Manufacturing Forum is built on six months of primary research and guided by an advisory board of manufacturing leaders, ensuring content reflects real challenges. Through curated networking, interactive formats, and peer-led discussions, attendees connect with the right people and leave with actionable strategies they can apply across their plants immediately.
