 The Trends Reshaping the Industry in 2026 

The manufacturing industry is under more pressure to evolve than ever before. Legacy systems, converging networks, rising cyber threats, and the rapid arrival of AI — it's a lot to navigate, and most organizations are trying to figure it out in real time.

On June 10, 2026, from 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM CT, a panel of technology experts will talk through the four forces having the biggest impact on manufacturers right now. The goal is to give you an honest look at where the industry stands — and a practical starting point for what to do about it.

What We'll Cover:

  • Modernization — Many manufacturers are still running outdated systems and legacy software just to keep older equipment operational. We'll talk about what a realistic path to modernization looks like and how to move forward without disrupting the floor.

  • OT/IT Convergence — Operational technology and IT networks are increasingly connected, which creates new opportunities and new vulnerabilities. We'll break down what that convergence means for manufacturers and why it matters now.

  • Cybersecurity — Manufacturing is one of the most targeted industries for cyberattacks. We'll cover the threats hitting manufacturers hardest and what you need to have in place to protect your operations.

  • AI and Automation — AI is already showing up in manufacturing environments in practical ways. We'll look at where it's creating real value, where it's still hype, and what you need to think about before you can take advantage of it.

Who Should Attend:

✓ This session is designed for manufacturing executives, operations leaders, and IT decision-makers who are responsible for keeping their environments secure, efficient, and ready for what's next.
