Industry 4.0 Virtual Event, The Future of the Transatlantic Relationship, and More

EACC NEWSBRIEF: JANUARY 19, 2021

Friends,

I hope you took a moment to think about the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., yesterday, and his work for equity and justice. This is an important week for the United States; join us 1/27 for a webinar with the EU Ambassador to the U.S., Stavros Lambrinidis, to hear a European perspective on the economic dimensions of the transatlantic relationship under the new Administration.

And it's also not too late to register for our Industry 4.0 event this Thursday (1/21) where our expert panel will explore how I4.0 is reaching beyond the factory walls.

Young Professionals mustn't miss our 2/2 Executive Insights event with Andreas Brockmann of Festo Didactic; it's a great way to build new connections while also reimaging the future of industrial education and workforce development.

Finally, wanted to note that I'm celebrating four years in my role as Executive Director of the EACC: I love this job and am grateful for your support!

Industry 4.0: It's Not Just About 'Industry' - Virtual Event

January 21

While much attention is given to the impact of “Industry 4.0” on manufacturing, the truth is that the ongoing ‘fourth industrial revolution’ is driving fundamental change in every aspect of business (and life) in the same way that electrification did. The ability to collect, communicate and analyze massive amounts of data, married with machine learning, artificial intelligence, and automation won’t just impact how we make widgets; it is changing how we do our taxes and how we educate our children and how we manage our financial assets.

Our speakers will explain how their own industries are being transformed and explore the parallels between how manufacturers and service providers are applying Industry 4.0 principles. Breakout sessions will allow attendees to ask questions and share their experiences while building new networks.
