About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

The Australian manufacturing industry is continuously evolving through periods of rapid change. How is your business responding to environmental and compliance pressures and expectations from your buyers and the general public?

It is anticipated that over the coming years manufacturing businesses will face:

  • continuous market disruptions including inflation, worker shortages, trade interruptions and changing customer demands and expectations
  • impacts from the transformation to a post carbon economy with net zero regulations
  • a rapidly evolving technology future involving generative AI, machine learning and an array of new technology options.

The impact of these future trends can be challenging to navigate so we invite you to join us for this interactive breakfast seminar. At this event you will be challenged to look into the future and strategise with other manufacturers in the room to overcome any challenges and identify growth opportunities. You will also be provided with guidance and tools to develop your own high level action plan to prepare your business for success.

Places for this event are limited and registration is essential!

Cost: Complimentary
