FABTECH 2017, North America's largest metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing event, is embracing a popular tech talk concept with the addition of short, inspirational talks given by industry visionaries on their experiences and thoughts for how innovation is driving manufacturing forward.
The presentations—dubbed "FABx Tech Talks"—will provide FABTECH attendees with a glimpse into manufacturing's future, including what tomorrow's jobs will look like and what companies must do to remain competitive.
The FABx Tech Talks will be the opening keynote presentation on Nov. 6, the first morning of FABTECH, which takes place Nov. 6-9 at Chicago's McCormick Place.
FABx Tech Talks participants are:
- Adam Genei, founder, Mobsteel
- Jesse James, founder, West Coast Choppers
- Karen Kerr, executive managing director, GE Ventures
- Albert Paley, sculpture artist, aPaley Studios
- Jacques Panis, president, Shinola
- Michael Walton, industry solution executive (manufacturing industry), Microsoft
Each FABx speaker will motivate attendees with a 12-minute talk. James and Paley will take the stage first to discuss their unique collaboration using metal art to bring to life the importance of metalworking technology. Walton, Kerr, and Panis will each offer their own personal stories on the evolution taking place in manufacturing and what the future holds. Genei will conclude by sharing his passion for manufacturing and the value of making things with your hands.
