The event format includes a keynote presentation followed by two blocks of 50-minute breakout sessions with industry experts. Additional program components will include networking, an award presentation, and happy hour. (View Summit 2024 for an event recap and photos.)
We are currently seeking presentation proposals from industry experts, researchers, and thought leaders. If you have a compelling success story to share or cutting-edge information that would benefit manufacturing executives, we encourage you to submit a proposal for consideration. Please review all criteria and details before submitting your application.
You will have the opportunity to designate if you are interested in being considered for a breakout session or keynote speaker on the form. If you would like to submit more than one topic/presentation for consideration, you may submit multiple topics/descriptions.
The AMBayArea Summit 2025 will be held on Tuesday, April 29 from 1 to 7 p.m. at Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, California.
