National Manufacturing Week Conference Schedule
Digital business, 3D printing and Industry 4.0 are all spotlighted features of this 
year’s event. These topics will continue to remain the focus of this event for years to come. Also on the conference schedule are discussions on safety, manufacturing sector profitability, process improvement and product lifecycle management.

There is free entry for people involved in the manufacturing sector, and a link to their website is here.
