Conference Program

The conference program is currently being developed. Manufacturers interested in speaking opportunities at the conference are encouraged to submit an application for the Manufacturing Excellence Awards program. All finalists will present at the conference (application).
A Call for Papers has also been issued for end users and selected presenters will be asked to speak at the conference.

We are excited to announce that Richard Morley, best known as the father of the programmable computer, has been named one of our featured speakers for the event!

Mr. Morley is the leading visionary in the field of advanced technological development. He is the recipient of the Franklin Institute's prestigious Howard N. Potts Award and is an inductee of the Automation Hall of Fame. He holds more than twenty US and foreign patents, including those for the parallel inference machine, the hand-held terminal, the programmable logic controller and magnetic thin film.

Currently, he is the Chairman of the Board of National Center of Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS), Director at Large for the Society Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and a member of the Manufacturing Advisory Board for Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).
