Achieve Operational Agility in Your Plant with a Mobile, Connected Workforce

Transitioning to a digitally-driven plant floor demands a skilled and connected workforce capable of operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting complex operations and digital systems. The plant floor, once dominated by manual processes, is now becoming a realm of interconnected devices, digital twins, data analytics and AI. With operational complexity and the workforce skills gap at an all time high, there has never been a more critical time for plant leaders to invest in their workforce.

Join us at The Connected Worker Exchange, where every year the most senior-level executives gather in an intimate, invitation-only setting to address the biggest digital workforce challenges facing manufacturing plants today.

If you are a senior plant, digital or operations leader responsible for building an efficient, mobile, connected workforce - there is no better place to learn how to do just that.

What makes The Connected Worker Exchange Unique?

The first thing to know is that this is not just a conference.

Exchanges are unique, invitation-only events driven by pre-scheduled business meetings between pre-qualified solution providers and senior executives that are mutually interested in doing business together. Thought-provoking conference sessions, interactive think tanks and innovative networking opportunities round out the agenda; and this all takes place in an intimate, confidential environment in which strategic purchasing decisions can be made and relationships developed.

Transformative Content

We only cover strategic content and hand-pick senior-level speakers and attendees. And because we pre-qualify based on decision-making responsibility and budget, you get invaluable peer-to-peer information and take-aways.

Personalized Connections

Because you tell us your priorities, we create closed-door tailored interactive sessions and connect you with the right solution partners in 1-1 meetings, saving you time on competitor benchmarking and vendor evaluation.
