Paradigm Shift for Manufacturers and the Impacts of Digital Transformation Panel Discussion
The pandemic has disrupted manufacturing operations and supply chains across the US and globally.

The resulting paradigm shift for manufacturers has many thinking about the impacts of digital transformation during this time. A panel session will explore the following questions:
