Hosted by MetalForming magazine and the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA), this event is for metal formers and fabricators who want to learn the latest technology trends and view live demonstrations on some of the industry’s leading ERP software systems.
What to Expect
Day One
Day one features presentations on AI, digital twins, and an open ERP forum, and plenty of time to connect with fellow attendees, speakers and sponsors during the networking reception.
Day Two
Get hands-on with ERP shootout sessions—software demos from top suppliers. You’ll see how each system works, compare features in real time and join group discussions where you can ask the questions that matter to your operations.
Who Should Attend
This event is ideal for executives, engineers and IT leaders from small to midsized manufacturers who want to modernize operations, evaluate ERP options or simply stay ahead of the Industry 4.0 curve.
What Past Attendees Say
“I would definitely recommend this event to others, especially if you are looking to buy an ERP system within the next 6 months.”
“It was great having all of the sponsors involved in manufacturing software in one place. You are able to go around and ask questions to all of the companies and determine which software is right for your company.”
