Moving from Pilot to Production at DMS USA
Scaling success across manufacturing plants is rarely linear. As programs face legacy constraints and risk management hurdles, the focus has shifted from “what to do” to how to deliver results.
The Digital Manufacturing Strategies Summit is a working forum for those navigating these realities. On October 28-29 in Chicago, join a closed-door, peer-level environment focused on what is actually working in digital execution and how to solve the hurdles of deployment.

Agenda and Themes
The agenda is developed with input from the Advisory Committee and senior manufacturing leaders responsible for delivery.
The themes reflect the areas organisations are actively working on today — where progress is being made, where challenges remain, and where investment decisions are under pressure.
Discussions stay grounded in real operational experience, rather than theory or vendor-led narratives.
Sponsorship Opportunities
A limited number of organisations participate in the Summit as industry partners.
Partners engage with senior manufacturing leaders through structured discussions, small-group sessions, and pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings aligned to current operational and transformation priorities.
Participation is focused on relevant, senior-level conversation with leaders responsible for delivery and investment decisions.
Participation options include:
Involvement in discussion-led sessions and workshops
Pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings with senior decision-makers
A limited number of partners to protect the quality of the room
