Unlocking New Levels of Performance Across
the Plant Floor

February 2 - 4, 2027 | Norris Conference Center (CityCentre), Houston, TX

For manufacturers who refuse to use yesterday's tools

The Connected Worker Manufacturing summit in Houston brings together 300+ manufacturing leaders to share their practical strategies and real-world case studies on workforce modernization, connected frontline operations, operational intelligence, data-driven decision making, and AI adoption. Learn how manufacturers are augmenting frontline teams, boosting productivity, improving safety and reliability, and building the connected workforce of the future.

Today's manufacturers face growing labor shortages, skills gaps, operational complexity, and the rapid rise of AI. To stay competitive, they must empower frontline workers with real-time insights, streamline decision-making, and turn operational data into measurable business outcomes.

''The quality of the speakers and the participants during these events is just top notch. I go to a lot of these conferences year round and the Connected Worker Series hits home because they're more connected to the workers, to the frontlines, to the people making the decisions and to the people using the technologies. These summits always bring value as I'm always learning from others' challenges, solutions, failures & success stories.''
