Why the next wave of leaders is rethinking operations from the ground up.
Beyond the Bottleneck: The Executive Blueprint for Fast, Scalable Manufacturing
This isn’t another “webinar.” We’re bringing together top leaders from the manufacturing space to share how they’re tackling the toughest challenges holding operations back—from outdated legacy systems to siloed tech stacks that create inefficiency at every turn.

What You’ll Learn
• Why legacy systems are the #1 obstacle to scale—and how top teams are breaking through
• How executives are simplifying and unifying operations across fragmented tools
• The real-world blueprints being used to drive agility, cost savings, and growth
• Candid insights from NJMEP, Monday.com, and Worktables on what’s working—and what’s not
If you’re leading manufacturing operations, sales, or strategy, this session is designed to give you a playbook you can act on now.
