Fabrication Strategy Summit

Wednesday, May 21 - Thursday, May 22, 2025 | Chicago/Northbrook, IL

NEW from MetalForming magazine and the Precision Metalforming Association is the Fabrication Strategy Summit!

This two-day dynamic, interactive event promises to facilitate in-depth discussions through a series of targeted roundtables. Each facilitated roundtable centers on a unique, timely topic critical to the continued success of sheet metal fabricators:

• Design for manufacture
• Scalable process integration via software and automation
• Smart manufacturing/Industry 4.0
• The transition from high-volume low-mix production to low-volume (and prototype) high-mix work
• …and more.

The format, which includes thought-leadership keynote addresses, will allow for meaningful dialogue and networking opportunities, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing and encouraging attendees to engage with the subject matter.

Attendees will come away with practical advice they can take back to their manufacturing facilities to help improve productivity and efficiency, as they work to create finished products from sheet stock.

If you operate or plan on operating laser, plasma or waterjet cutting equipment, bending or folding machines, punching machines, welding equipment, automation equipment and more, this event is for you!

The event will take place at the Hilton Chicago/Northbrook.
