“Innovation is the life source of any competitive manufacturer and a vital part of its preservation is its adoption across the company. After extensive research with past attendees, I have ensured an agenda and speaker line-up have been curated to touch upon those questions most are asking: what technology do I need? Which is best for me? How do I deploy it? How do I get company buy-in? And how can it give a return in the form of innovative product design and development?” - Michael Ratcliffe, Production Director

The PI Congress programme also includes peer led case studies, workshops, focus groups and other sessions delivered by the likes of Jenni Ala-Mantila, Head, PLM Project, Skanska Oy (Boosting PLM's End-to-End Visibility through Novel Business Area Inclusion).
