We learn by doing
You can listen to a podcast or watch a video any time. This week is for the conversation you can’t get from a screen. Everyone learns differently. Some topics you learn best by listening in, some by asking the question, some by saying what you think. All of it is taking part.
Pick your six

Pick your top six
Say yes to the sessions you most want to be in. Say yes to more if you like: your top six come first. Picks are not guaranteed.

We build the agenda
From everyone’s picks, G28 builds the sessions and the agenda. Some sessions move to larger rooms. Some run more than once and stay small groups. We’ll try our best to get you all of your top six.

Adjust your six
When the schedule is out, change your picks if you don’t like your agenda or change your mind.
In the coming weeks more sessions will be added.
Propose a session
Every session at the Summit is a conversation. Tell G28 the one you want to have, or the one you want someone to host.
We’re looking for experts from shops and vendors to host or join conversations on the following uncovered topics.
- Automation
- Lights-out pallet systems, cobots on the shop floor, and robots that learn by demonstration.
- Machines and Tooling
- Tool management and tool cribs, done-in-one 5-axis, feeds and speeds, coolant and chips, and buying your next machine with builders in the hot seat.
- Quality and Compliance
- In-machine inspection and probing, ITAR, CMMC and AS9100, and fixing bad prints.
- Keeping Machines Running
- Shorter repair waits and spare parts for older machines.
- Running the Business
- Exits, succession and private equity, tariffs, quoting that wins, breaking into defense work, and your first year owning a shop.
- People
- Pay, training and keeping machinists, and women in manufacturing.
- Software and AI
- AI in the shop office and choosing your ERP and MES.
