The manufacturing industry’s biggest challenges require bold ideas. Whether you’re modernizing the industrial base, pioneering new approaches to cybersecurity, or driving digital transformation on the factory floor, MxD wants to hear from you.
Send MxD an abstract to share your work, contribute to critical conversations, and help shape the future of U.S. manufacturing. Your expertise could become a presentation at an MxD event, spark a collaborative project, or drive solutions that strengthen our industrial base.
Complete the form below to provide details about your work, research, or insights. We welcome submissions from MxD members, industry partners, researchers, and manufacturing practitioners who are driving innovation and solving real-world challenges.
MxD evaluates submissions on a rolling basis and makes decisions based on relevance, impact, and alignment with MxD initiatives.
If your abstract is a fit, we’ll reach out to discuss next steps - whether that’s speaking at an event, joining a collaborative project, or contributing in other ways.
Have an idea for collaborative research, cross-industry problem-solving, or innovative initiatives? We’re open to proposals that advance digital manufacturing, strengthen cybersecurity practices, develop workforce capabilities, or address emerging challenges in the industrial base.
Are you tackling modernization challenges within the OIB? Share solutions, case studies, or innovative approaches that strengthen U.S. defense manufacturing infrastructure. We’re looking for practical insights on digital adoption, process improvements, supply chain resilience, and cybersecurity in OIB facilities. Submissions are for collaborative engagement opportunities and do not include project funding.
Do you have insights to share with the manufacturing community? Submit topics for presentations, panel discussions, workshops, or demonstration at MxD convenings. From emerging technologies to lessons learned on the factory floor, we want to amplify voices that can help others navigate digital transformation.
