Join us for this important forum to determine how we move beyond the historic data fundamentals and architectures of the past 30 years – to a future marked by enormous innovation and productivity growth. This will be a practical deep dive on the future of OT/IT interoperability for Smart Manufacturing Operations and Supply Chains.

This Summit is a collaborative, international initiative to shine the spotlight on the necessary building blocks, competencies, and capabilities related to modernizing our approach to OT/IT data engineering. We will explore the value, the challenges/risks, and the best practices on the journey to interoperability. We will showcase the capabilities, explore the relevant standards, and unveil how open APIs can unlock the full potential of industrial data and AI at scale!

Join us in Chicago as we bring industry leaders together to understand just how important interoperability is on our journey to productivity and competitiveness!
