Artificial intelligence is reshaping the factory floor, the workforce, and the economics of production.
Join mHUB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for the Manufacturing Futures Forum, a half-day convening focused on how AI will impact manufacturing.
The Manufacturing Futures Forum will examine this shift through an invite-only gathering of senior executives, investors, and policymakers to chart how the Midwest can lead as AI becomes the defining layer of modern manufacturing.
The Forum is organized around three core themes:
Emerging Technologies: How are AI, automation, and robotics reshaping what's possible in manufacturing, and what do these advances mean for productivity growth and innovation?
Infrastructure & Operations: What data, software, and operational structures must come together for manufacturers to fully capitalize on these new technologies?
Funding & Scale: What capital and investment are required to fund and expand this transformation, and what policies are needed to support it?
The Manufacturing Futures Forum exists to turn a shared moment of disruption into a shared plan of action. By bringing together key leaders, it aims to move the region's manufacturing sector from awareness of AI's impact to a working consensus on where to invest, what to build, and how to move first.
