Innovative and engaging programming reimagined for the premier event in industrial automation and digital transformation
This year’s event marks the beginning of a new era for Automation Fair as it brings together valuable programming from historically separate events into a single affair. The combination of Rockwell’s flagship event, Automation Fair, with the best of its popular ROKLive Americas, PowerPlex, and Process Solutions events offers attendees one groundbreaking week of peer-to-peer exchange and learning from manufacturing and technology experts. Professionals at all levels will gather at Automation Fair to discuss challenges and explore new solutions to unlock potential and discover everything needed to succeed today and into the future.
“We’re excited for this expanded event to bring executives, management, and technical professionals from across the globe together to be immersed in new ideas and technologies, proven best practices, and industry insights,” commented Robin Saitz, Chief Marketing Officer, Rockwell Automation. “As the preeminent gathering for manufacturers from all sectors, Automation Fair now offers attendees even more opportunities to discover the technology and connections to help them achieve their goals over four jam-packed days.”
The new and improved event schedule features 3 inspirational keynotes focused on innovations in industrial technology, the future of manufacturing, and inspiring resiliency and sustainability. More than 325 sessions will be delivered by experts from Rockwell, its partners, and its customers to help attendees move their manufacturing journey forward. With learning opportunities at discovery theaters, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and panel discussions, attendees can tailor their experience with guided tracks by industry, role, and interest area.
Along with 26 unique offsite tours and hands-on learning opportunities including 500 hours of advanced training, attendees can also expect endless chances to network. An expanded 500,000-square-foot interactive expo including 120 booths, virtual production lines, and guided expo tours, attendees will access the hottest innovations and the latest approaches to optimize production, empower workers, manage risk, drive sustainability, and achieve digital transformation.
