Global Midwest Alliance, the Association for Manufacturing Technology, TMA, Wipfli and host, Wintrust Financial Corporation, invite you to a manufacturing conference in the Alliance's 2019 Innovation, Growth and Globalization Industry-Focused Series. Throughout the year, this series of programs will highlight industry expertise, innovation and technology, and globalization opportunities in growing industries.

Today’s industrial processing is increasingly moving toward greater customization and flexibility of smaller lot sizes. Response to this is difficult for the most progressive company but especially daunting for mainstream production facilities.

The challenge? How do you process order quantities as small as one both timely and profitably?

Please join Global Midwest Alliance for an interactive panel discussion with industry experts from hardware, software, digital, AI, IoT and process innovation fields to explore and discuss the possibilities.

This year’s program will feature two sessions with a panel of experts. The first session will be moderator led, and the second session will be entirely audience led with questions posed to the panel. This format will allow time to inspire the audience for specific questions creating an opportunity for the audience to gain as much information as possible from the panel.

Seats are limited. Please register on or before November 8, 2019.
