The inaugural edition will center on “AI Driven Cybersecurity: Shaping the Future of Manufacturing,” taking place on May 20 at the Tampa Club.

As we enter the fourth revolution of manufacturing, interconnected AI-powered systems are driving remarkable efficiency and innovation. However, this hyper-connectivity also introduces new vulnerabilities.

They will share invaluable insights and actionable strategies on:

- The Investment Landscape: Identifying and funding the innovative companies developing the defensive tools of tomorrow.
- Workforce Transformation: Addressing the evolving skills required in the modern factory and strategies for reskilling the workforce to thrive alongside AI.
