SCOOPstudio at SMTAi - call for participation
In just one week until the industry's great and good descend on Chicago for SMTAi 2017, and as with every other major trade show the SCOOPstudio will be filming insightful interviews and topical roundtables. Whilst some sessions are already full, spaces remain in others, and the SCOOP team invite those who have something to add to the debates to get in touch.
The roundtables are spread over the two exhibit days and will be filmed and shared with numerous media outlets, as well as through social media.
It seems the electronics manufacturing industry is in for some real disruptions as the challenges of the Smart factory and Industry 4.0 collide with enabling technologies like 3D Printing, Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence. Meanwhile digital transformation of brands and businesses, changes in consumer behavior and a need for EMS companies to differentiate themselves continues to put increasing pressure on the industry.
The roundtables scheduled at SMTAi, and listed below, reflect the discussions that are taking place in the boardrooms of the industry every day. Some are technology led, some are major trends, and others are topics that need to be discussed openly in the industry to further collaboration and development. If you would like to contribute to the debate, please email visit wearescoop.com and complete the contact form or reach out to Philip Stoten on LinkedIn. There is also one open slot, so if you have a burning issue you'd like to see debated, reach out and let the SCOOP team know.
