Location, location, location. It’s not just a mantra for real estate. Location matters in manufacturing, too. And for four manufacturing regional centers, that means the introduction of the Manufacturing Technology Series, an assembly of four long-standing regional events under one umbrella. This powerful event series will connect decision-makers with leading suppliers of advanced manufacturing technology in the East, West, Southeast, and Southwest.
AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology and SME co-produce the Manufacturing Technology Series and optimize the value of the four leading manufacturing shows. Each region aligns with major manufacturing centers throughout the United States, and the series directly connects attendees and exhibitors alike to the people and companies where they purchase the equipment, develop the networks, and gain the knowledge they need to grow their businesses.
“Bringing these events to key manufacturing hubs around the country goes hand in hand with our mission to accelerate the adoption of technologies that will keep America’s manufacturing sector competitive and resilient,” said Steve Prahalis, SME’s chief operating officer. “We’re taking advanced technologies and experts in the industry directly to the places and the people who can benefit the most from them, and we’re helping build relationships that can significantly impact the future of manufacturing.”
Each event will include exclusive features targeting manufacturing challenges and opportunities. Here are a few anticipated sessions:
Executive Perspectives is a group of thought leadership panels at the SME Theater that will feature top executives representing small, medium-sized, and large manufacturing companies. Each speaker is leading the charge for the profits for their companies, addressing the skills gap, and optimizing historical capital investments and the adoption of new advanced manufacturing technologies, including automation, to help meet ever-evolving customer demands.
The Smart Manufacturing Experience including Secure Shop Showcase will highlight innovative technologies to enhance manufacturing operations as well as provide effective strategies to protect digital assets and defend against cyberattacks.
The Bright Minds Student Summit is exclusively devoted to engaging the next generation of manufacturing talent by showcasing career paths.
