Leverage the Manufacturing Intelligence Experience of Your Peers.

Senior leaders in manufacturing are focused on driving profitable growth, operational efficiency, and innovation. That's why a select group of executives were invited to the 2025 Regional Manufacturing Insights Conference in Detroit to hear firsthand from their peers how they successfully implemented manufacturing intelligence solutions from aPriori that have been the catalyst behind improving profit margins and accelerating NPI cycles.
 

In this one-day program, attendees experienced:

  • Compelling case studies from industry-leading, powerhouse manufacturers like GE Appliances, Woodward, and Dana along with startup, trailblazer companies like Slate Auto
  • Attendees also got an insider look at aPriori’s latest breakthroughs in product cost management and design for manufacturability - tools that help teams beat competitors to market and hit cost targets with confidence.
