A Timely Conversation for Manufacturing Leaders
Manufacturing professionals will have the opportunity to hear directly from industry executives at the Leaders in Manufacturing Roundtable, scheduled for October 28 at 12 p.m. ET. The roundtable discussion, hosted by Aerospace Manufacturing and Design, will focus on the future of manufacturing — a topic that grows more urgent as shops balance economic pressure against the push to modernize.
The agenda is broad but grounded in the realities engineers and plant leaders face daily. The webinar will explore workforce development, supply chain resilience, automation, smart factory technology, operational efficiency, and sustainability initiatives. Participants can expect insights into how manufacturers are leveraging innovation, data, and strategic planning to improve productivity and remain competitive.
Practical Perspectives, Not Just Theory
Attendees will hear practical perspectives on navigating economic pressures, adopting emerging technologies, and building agile, future-ready manufacturing organizations positioned for long-term growth. That framing matters — the difference between a useful roundtable and a forgettable one often comes down to whether speakers address the operational trade-offs, not just the technology headlines.
