Download the Smart Factories Summit 2025 Agenda

Andy Mears, Production Operations Sr Manager – Digital Transformation and Intelligent Factory Integration, Lockheed Martin

As both a speaker and attendee at the Smart Manufacturing Conference by AMG World in Chicago last year, I really enjoyed the roundtable discussions and the interaction with the other attendees. It was an added benefit to have access to key vendors and suppliers in a more intimate setting at the conference. I was fortunate to make some great contacts whose products will be helpful to us on our Transformation journey.

We had a lot of fruitful discussions and inspiring conversations, and it was great to hear everyone's input about smart solutions for factories, but also to receive feedback on our technology and the value it provides. Thank you, AMG World, for organising the Smart Factories Summit and we hope to see you again next year!

Former CTO, MxD

It was a great event. It was great to see old friends, make new ones, and discuss the importance of committing to the future of manufacturing in the US. I look forward to next year's event and hope we can share some success stories based on the conversations we started at the summit!

Executive Director/CEO, WCMP

Your gatherings are always interesting because they do not reward passivity. Everyone is expected to actively participate and (usually) the leaders are there to learn as well. It makes for a very interesting day.

Enterprise Architecture Strategist, Industry 4.0, Koch Industries

I thought the event was very valuable. One of the best I’ve attended. The conversations I had with several of the attendees either reinforced our transformation efforts or educated us on better ways.

Technology Fellow, XR, WestRock

I do like that you keep the pace up. The quick cadence of the day is good. Very organized also. Food was good. Venue was good. Thank you for the coffee and pastries and lunch. Very nice touch. You do a lot it seems for your sponsors. Good visibility.
