MT360 connects technology, manufacturing, and VC

The Association For Manufacturing Technology’s (AMT) MT360 Conference will be held May 12-14, 2020, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California, bringing together the technology, manufacturing, and VC communities to discuss and demonstrate the role of transformative technologies in the future of manufacturing.

MT360 will showcase and demonstrate the integration of additive manufacturing (AM), augmented reality (AR), cognitive automation, and the digital thread into manufacturing operations.

“The MT360 Conference is part of AMT’s lifecycle strategy around transformative technologies,” says Douglas Woods, president of AMT. “The Silicon Valley and manufacturing technology communities evolved separately, and there are no well-orchestrated paths in the market to bring them together. There is enormous opportunity for collaboration, learning, and investment between these communities to accelerate product development.”

MT360 features:

• Tech Theater – Curated content from across manufacturing, technology, and investment showcases the application of transformative technologies to manufacturing
• Virtual Factory – Connects the concept of transformative technologies with demonstrated applications and solutions
• 16 Start Up Hubs – Includes start-up companies and VC investors presenting on innovative technology applications, investment opportunities
• Tech Garages – Anchored by companies, such as Cisco, showcasing connection to digital manufacturing and how the various solutions they see evolving

Keynote presenters include:

• Mickey McManus, visiting research fellow at the Office of the CTO at Autodesk; principal and chairman of the board, MAYA Design
• Rob Csongor, Vice President of Autonomous Machines, NVIDIA
• Douglas Ramsey, Chief Development Officer, Hackrod
