This power-packed half-day event will empower you to tackle manufacturing’s greatest challenges.
 
Check out some of our breakout sessions…
Robotic Process Automation
 Jeremiah Worthington • Endurium LLC
Robotic automation has been improving the production floor for the past 20+ years and is nothing new for today’s manufacturing companies. Over the past five years, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has become a cutting-edge technology that allows a software “robot” to replicate human user actions. Similar to robotics on the production floor, RPA is robotics for everywhere else within the business. If you ever wished there were robots to help reduce errors in manual entry, copy and paste between systems, read invoices, send out communications or perform almost any other business task, then this session is for you.
Proactive Recruiting in 2021
 Michael Dergis • Sigred Solutions
Recruiting at all levels has become more challenging. Generational changes, technology, and the response to COVID-19 have forced recruiters and hiring managers to adapt their approach to finding the best candidates. The “post and pray” method of finding candidates is no longer enough. “Proactive Recruiting in 2021” will focus on developing a proactive approach to finding and attracting the best talent for your organization. Investing time upfront in creating a process, targeting specific individuals, and maintaining communication will reap rewards in faster and more effective searches.
