​Industrial Resiliency: Summit 003

​Thursday, September 17 · Program 12:00–6:00 PM

​Long Beach, CA  ·  Cohort access: 150 curated attendees

​The arsenal of democracy and the next consumer-electronics supply chain run on the same factory floor. Robotics, automation, advanced manufacturing, reshoring, workforce. What commercial OEMs need to ship the next product, what the Department needs to fill its magazines, and where those briefs converge.

​The program runs two discussions: what it takes to build in time, from prototype to sustained production; and robotics, automation, and the future of work.
