As manufacturing continues its rapid transformation, the workforce conversation is evolving far beyond labor shortages. Manufacturers are now navigating AI integration, automation, reskilling, leadership development and the changing relationship between people and technology.

The 2027 Integr8 Connected Workforce Roundtable will bring together leaders from industry, academia and technology to explore how manufacturers can build agile, future-ready organizations while maintaining the human advantage that drives innovation forward.

Discussions will focus on workforce readiness, connected worker technologies, AI-enabled operations, talent pipelines, training models and the cultural shifts required to compete in the next era of manufacturing.
