Attendees will expect to be challenged, inspired and have their mindset transformed through a series of insightful keynotes and reflective sessions, gaining insight into new workforce planning and models of operation that will redefine manufacturing.

In attendance will also be several support organisations to promote live funding and collaborative opportunities.

Chief Executive of Manufacturing NI, Stephen Kelly said: “After the uncertainty of Brexit, I think what’s important for business leaders is just to get back to what you’re there for and what the essence of your business is about. Our summit will give manufacturing leaders the chance to explore and to share best practice, build relationships with others facing or beating similar challenges from workforce planning to culture, leadership and diversity. It’s a chance to challenge themselves and others just like them.

“Manufacturers around the globe are transforming thanks to new technological advances and shifting sales channels which are reshaping the competitive landscape. Delegates will hear about these opportunities from real company case-studies and industry experts.”
