North Texas Manufacturing Future Forum: Robotics, AI & the Next Industrial Shift

Monday, May 18, from 10:30 a.m. to Noon at 210 S. Bois D'Arc St.

Manufacturing is being reshaped in real time—and North Texas is at the center of that transformation. This forum brings together manufacturers, industry leaders, and the broader community to unpack how robotics, automation, and AI are redefining production, workforce dynamics, and competitive advantage over the next decade.

Through practical insights, real-world examples, and live discussions, attendees will gain a clear understanding of what these technologies actually mean for their operations, their workforce, and their future. Whether you’re just beginning to explore automation or looking to scale advanced capabilities, this experience is designed to remove confusion, challenge assumptions, and provide a roadmap for action.

Walk away with a sharper perspective on where manufacturing is headed, what risks to avoid, and how to position your business—or career—to win in the next industrial shift.
