Smarter Manufacturing Conference 2025

How can manufacturers in Greater Lincolnshire strengthen supply chains, overcome the skills challenge, and use technology to boost productivity and profitability?

How can businesses prepare for uncertainty while still driving growth and innovation?

These are the questions at the heart of this year’s Smarter Manufacturing Conference and the answers will be explored, debated and shared throughout the day.

Why Attend?

This flagship event is designed to give manufacturers the tools, insights and connections they need to achieve results.

You'll hear from:

• Industry experts

What to Expect

The programme combines thought-provoking talks with practical discussions and real-world case studies.

You’ll hear directly from manufacturers who have already adopted new approaches and seen the benefits. You’ll also have the chance to explore what’s worked for them and how it could work for you.
