Event overview
A CII summit on the shift toward intelligent and increasingly autonomous manufacturing, covering digitalisation, AI, industrial automation and connected operations.
Why this matters for speakers
Intelligent manufacturing events tend to divide into two rooms that rarely meet: vendors demonstrating platforms, and plant people who have to make them work on a running line. The second audience is the one worth speaking to here, and it responds to operational specifics over transformation frameworks. There is no public call — CII assembles its own programme — so the route is a direct approach to the summit's CII contact several months before the agenda is fixed.
Who should attend
Manufacturing leaders, plant heads, digital-transformation teams, automation specialists, Industry 4.0 professionals and AI practitioners.
