An invitation-only strategy forum for CEOs and senior manufacturing executives, with candid, off-the-record discussion of geopolitics, tariffs, AI, supply chains, and talent. The theme, “Technology, Production, and ‘New’ Manufacturing,” raises questions about technology's effect on strategy from design through production, whether moving from complexity to simplicity reduces costs, and other technology developments shaping manufacturing strategy. Sessions include “Signals that Matter: Crafting a Strategy Built on New Tech-Enabled Operations” and “The Return on AI Starts with Trust,” focused on connected data and visible thinking before faster, larger decisions. The program also includes an executive leadership panel and audience Q&A. Attendance is primarily for C-suite and senior leaders from manufacturing companies; access for nonmanufacturing members is limited, and solution providers may attend only through sponsorship.
