27th Annual ARC Industry Forum 2023 - Online | ARC Advisory Group | 27 February 2023 | Online Event

Join us with this forum to speed up your digitalization, sustainability and energy transition initiatives with strategies and stories from your peers.

We need to act fast. Despite progress, digital transformation is still very much a work in progress in industrial companies. Yet, the next wave of disruption is already cresting into industrial markets that are still dealing with pandemic-induced supply chain fragility and workforce shortages, exacerbated by global geopolitical conflict that we thought was a thing of the past. This next one ― climate change ― might be the biggest disruptor of them all. We are in a critical time of action.

Join us in Florida to learn more about how transforming factories, plants, and infrastructure will benefit technology end users and suppliers alike. Discover what your peers and industry leaders are doing today and what steps they are taking to prepare for the future.

Forum Topics:
• 21st Century Operations: Where IT, OT, and ET Converge
• AI and Machine Learning
• Asset Performance Management
• Automation Innovations
• Cybersecurity for Digitalization and Sustainability
