Where Digital Ambition Meets Operational Reality.
Digital transformation in manufacturing rarely follows the plan. Progress is uneven, legacy systems persist, and the gap between strategy and operational reality often proves wider than expected.
For senior leaders, the challenge is no longer deciding whether to transform, but how to deliver meaningful progress across complex operations while managing risk, resources, and competing priorities.
The Digital Manufacturing Strategies Summit (19-20 November 2026, Berlin, Germany) brings manufacturing leaders together for focused, closed-door discussion about these realities — sharing what is working, what is stalling, and how organisations are navigating the next phase of change.
Inside the Summit
Who's in the room?
The value of the Summit comes from the people attending.
Participation is limited to senior manufacturing leaders who are actively responsible for delivering digital transformation within their organisations. Conversations move quickly beyond theory and focus on practical experience.
Attendees include leaders with responsibility for digital strategy, technology delivery, operations, and investment decisions across European manufacturing organisations.
Typically includes:
C-suite, VP and Director-level roles
Digital, IT, operations, engineering and transformation functions
Leaders accountable for both delivery and investment
Agenda and Themes
The Summit agenda is shaped with input from the Advisory Committee and senior manufacturing leaders currently responsible for delivering digital transformation.
The themes reflect the areas organisations are actively working on today — where progress is being made, where challenges persist, and where investment decisions are being tested.
This ensures discussions stay grounded in real priorities, rather than theoretical frameworks or vendor-led narratives.
Sponsorship Opportunities
A limited number of organisations participate in the Summit as sponsors.
Sponsors engage with senior manufacturing leaders through structured discussions, small-group sessions, and pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings aligned to current transformation priorities.
The focus is on informed conversation and relevance, with participants who hold responsibility for delivery and investment decisions.
Participation Options
