About the Smart Manufacturing Summit – May 14 & 15, 2019
Chief Executive Group is the publisher of Chief Executive magazine, a national bi-monthly publication that reaches 91% of the CEOs who run companies with more than $50 million per year and represent 70.2% of the private economy in the U.S.
Chief Executive hosts several industry-focused events each year, including their annual Smart Manufacturing Summit. Before coming to Texas for 2019, prior successful SMS events have been held at other highly-symbolic, important American manufacturing icons like Ford Motor Company (Dearborn, MI), Caterpillar (Peoria, IL), Cummins Engine (Columbus, IN), Harley Davidson (Milwaukee, WI), The Boeing Company (Seattle, WA) and Honda Motor Company (Columbus, OH).
Exclusively designed for leaders of mid-market manufacturing companies, the 2019 Smart Manufacturing Summit, co-hosted by Peterbilt (Denton, TX) with supporting partner Texas Consilium, will help CEOs navigate their organization’s progress, and course correct where necessary through:
- Peer-to-peer networking providing rich opportunities to share best practices, principles and processes for managing continuous change.
- Forward-looking insights from manufacturing pioneers and global powerhouses including the CEOs of Siemens US, Emerson Electric, UniCarriers and other top leaders who will hone a CEO’s ability to see around corners and anticipate smart manufacturing’s next iteration.
- Exclusive facility tours of Peterbilt, UNT Additive Manufacturing Lab, AllianceTexas and more offering a behind-the-scenes look at cutting-edge advancements and an insider’s view of how leading organizations do what they do best.
