  1. Ray Wang’s focus on AI maturity and agentic use cases feels especially timely as manufacturers are under pressure to balance rapid innovation with practical ROI. I’m curious to see how the discussion addresses workforce shifts alongside technology adoption—those two forces seem inseparable in shaping what ‘exponential manufacturing’ will really look like. Events like this could help bridge the gap between strategy and execution for many leaders in the space.

  2. Exciting to see Ray Wang sharing AI insights at this manufacturing event. His expertise in digital transformation and enterprise tech will surely provide valuable guidance on AI implementation strategies. Looking forward to learning about practical use cases for manufacturers navigating today’s competitive landscape.
