What is the Virtual Learning Summit?

Times are uncertain, but one thing remains constant: knowledge is power. And there is power in bringing together industry leaders and partners to share best practices, new ideas and strategies.

Over the course of two days, attendees will participate from wherever they are, live streaming educational talks from industry experts. From technical opportunities in automation and 3D printing, to understanding impacts to your supply chain and tax relief for organizations - participants will gain knowledge and ideas to help their company. 

During this event, participants can choose to participate in as many or as few sessions as they like - and all participants will receive access to the presentations and recordings.

In this session, Bob will share his perspective on what it takes to build out an additive approach, challenges, and opportunities to consider.  Building out your vision will encompass all aspects of your business, and it can have a significant impact on your business and how you differentiate your company from the thousands of other molders in North America.
