Manufacturing Leaders Summit
WHY ATTEND

MANUFACTURING LEADERS' SUMMIT | 16-17 NOVEMBER, LIVERPOOL
BOOK YOUR TICKET NOW

There are four issues at the top of the manufacturing leaders inbox at the moment.

Here and now manufacturers face chronic supply chain issues with resilience, agility and visibility being the key issues. This is all against the background of rampant global inflation and the complex question of who pays?

The issue of skills availability continues to worsen in UK manufacturing. While the skills requirements in this digitalised world continue to change, manufacturing still struggles to attract the right talent and be perceived, by the general populace, as a good career path.

The final two wider issues, which are heavily interwoven, are digitalisation and sustainability. The COVID-19 pandemic and other recent global issues have demonstrated beyond all doubt that a more digitalised, roboticised and automated operation is the only way of safeguarding the future. 

Throw in the moral (and soon to be legal) impetus for a Net Zero future and manufacturers clearly have an awful lot on their plate. 

There are no clear roadmaps or one size fits all solutions. Only by discussing with peers and experts, sharing experiences and lessons, and a spirit of co-operation and collaboration can UK manufacturing navigate it’s way through these choppy waters. 

Manufacturing Leaders' Summit is where all of these issues will be aired, discussed and solutions offered. 

The day is delivered across a variety of keynotes, panel discussions and topic-specific Roundtable Discussion Sessions, designed to provide the best value and opportunity for learning. 

Our unique Discussion Session format allows you to choose the topics that are most relevant to you, enabling you to sit next to your peers and topic experts to share challenges, collaboratively develop solutions and have your questions answered first-hand.
