They say “everything’s bigger in Texas”… and this event will certainly put that to the test! QAD Champions of Manufacturing Americas, where manufacturing leaders kick off their next big win, is coming to Dallas, Texas, November 12-14, 2025.

Dallas is a city built for champions. With a central location, two major airports and nonstop flights from across the U.S. and beyond, it is an easy destination to reach. It is also a place that thrives on ambition, from its booming business scene to its iconic sports legacy.

And speaking of sports legacies, our Dallas mainstage is set to feature Troy Aikman — Pro Football Hall of Famer, three-time Super Bowl champion and one of the most respected voices in football.

The Perfect Stage for Champions

Few cities can match Dallas’ mix of high energy and high stakes. It is the home of the Dallas Cowboys, where championship banners hang as a reminder that grit, preparation and teamwork can take you all the way.

Troy Aikman knows this better than anyone. Over his 12-season NFL career, he led his team to three Super Bowl victories, earning a reputation for precision, resilience and leadership under pressure. His keynote at Champions of Manufacturing Americas will deliver insights on building winning teams, executing strategy and staying focused when it matters most — lessons that apply just as much to the shop floor as they do to the gridiron.

In football, success comes from preparation, trust and the ability to adapt to every challenge. In manufacturing, the same rules apply whether you are adopting new technology, optimizing supply chains or empowering your workforce. Troy’s talk will bridge these worlds, leaving you with a championship playbook for your business.
