‘’In a world of buzzwords, the Connected Worker Exchange cuts through the noise. It’s a place to share real strategies that are transforming manufacturing from the ground up, connecting people, data, and decisions where they matter most.’’ - Manufacturing AI & Advanced Analytics Manager, Albemarle Intelligence

The 2025 Connected Worker Exchange took place this past May in Austin, Texas.

Our leaders were able to benchmark strategies, identify best practices and conduct due diligence on potential technology solutions that align with their digital transformation plans.
