Unlocking New Levels of Performance Across the Plant Floor

Manufacturing is entering a new phase of transformation, and the gap between the leaders and the laggards is widening. As manufacturers face persistent workforce shortages, rising cost pressures and increasing demands for productivity, the question is no longer whether connected worker technologies can improve operations, but where they can deliver the greatest measurable value.

Competitive advantage will not come from simply deploying more technology. It will come from connecting people, processes, data and systems to create not only a connected workforce – but a connected ecosystem. Every year over 2500 manufacturing leaders gather in Houston and Chicago at the Connected Worker Manufacturing events to tackle these challenges head-on. Join senior leaders from across the manufacturing sector to share practical experiences, benchmark progress and learn from real-world deployments.


Discover what is working today, what is coming next, and how leading manufacturers are turning connected worker initiatives into measurable improvements in productivity, plant performance and business value.
