SOUTHWEST Session: Join us for a town hall event designed for exhibitors and attendees to help shape the future of federal research and development in advanced manufacturing. SPECIAL REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: Register Here Participants will share insights to help define the priorities for the 2026 – 2030 National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing, which guides Federal efforts to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. The plan is revised every four years to provide new federal priorities in advanced manufacturing research and development, aiming to create jobs, boost economic growth across various sectors, and strengthen national security. This town hall session augments an online Request for Information (RFI), enabling participants to voice their views and catalyze deeper input into priority areas. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has posted the complete set of questions in the Federal Register. The National Science and Technology Council’s Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing will manage the RFI process, and the NIST Office of Advanced Manufacturing will collect and analyze the information. Learn more here: White House Fact Sheet This exclusive town hall roundtable gives manufacturing leaders the opportunity to: Get a seat at the table with peers and policymakers Make your voice heard in shaping U.S. manufacturing priorities Provide deeper insights beyond the formal Request for Information (RFI) process.

SOUTHWEST Session: The call to bring manufacturing back to U.S. soil has never been louder—but the question remains: Can our manufacturing sector meet the moment?  This presentation dives into the reality behind the reshoring movement and explores the technological readiness of U.S. manufacturers to produce more efficiently, competitively, and sustainably. We’ll unpack where the gaps lie in digital adoption, automation, smart factory infrastructure, and skilled labor—and where forward-thinking manufacturers are already making big moves.  Learn what it truly takes to modernize your plant, compete globally, and deliver on the promise of “Made in the USA.”  In this session, we’ll cover the following:  The current state of U.S. manufacturing technology adoption  How automation, AI, and data are transforming the factory floor  Challenges and solutions in bridging the tech and workforce gap  What industry leaders are doing to future-proof their operations  Practical steps to accelerate your technology readiness  Whether you're  a C-suite executive, IT leader, or operations leader this webinar will give you the insights and next steps you need to drive innovation and scalability in your manufacturing business.

SOUTHWEST Session: Unexpected breakdowns, rising costs, and limited asset visibility continue to be a challenge for manufacturers, especially as teams face mounting pressure to do more with less – fewer technicians, tighter budgets, and limited time. But with the right technology and a practical approach to reliability, lean teams can shift from fighting fires to building long-term, operational resilience into every layer of production. In this session, we’ll showcase how manufacturers are using modern CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) tools to drive higher uptime, extend asset life, and reduce reactive work – all without needing additional headcount or new equipment. We’ll demonstrate how top performing teams have digitized preventive maintenance schedules, deployed QR code-enabled work orders, and built mobile-first maintenance workflows that keep machines running and teams aligned. Whether you’re still using spreadsheets or looking to get more out of your current system, this session will provide a clear blueprint for building a smart, scalable maintenance program.

SOUTHWEST Session: Understand the essential steps for achieving CMMC compliance in this essential session. Colin Gilchrist will provide a comprehensive guide for organizations looking to bridge the gap between cybersecurity requirements and business growth, ensuring a strong compliance foundation.
