Manufacturing a wide range of products remains vital to the US economy, but many challenges exist for US manufacturers in the global marketplace. This Symposium will convene more than 30 distinguished authorities from government, industry and academia as speakers and panelists to address these challenges. The Symposium will focus on using and improving modeling and simulation methods to ensure that operations within an enterprise:

• produce products of high value and adapt readily to market shifts;
• meet occupational health and emerging environmental and sustainability requirements;
• and develop manufacturing technologies to maintain our national
  security.

Who Should Attend: The Symposium will be of interest to a wide range of engineers, business leaders and others striving to ensure that manufacturing operations meet consumer needs, are profitable and sustainable, and remain an integral part of the US economy and the US contribution to the global economy. Registration is required to attend.
