Why Attend?

The NGM Summit 2008 will serve as an arena for senior level executives to engage in a clear and focused dialogue with their peers to procure and examine their business and manufacturing objectives in real time.

GDS has elected more than 50 of the most well respected executives in the European manufacturing industry. The delegation gathers together in Germany to spend two days with their peers to network and share knowledge while assessing new technologies available in the marketplace.

Invitations are based on the investments these executives are currently making in the market. The executives gather to find new opportunities for cost reduction, debate the key issues that they are facing in their organisation and analyze how different solutions can increase their productivity globally.

Executives will engage in a series of business meetings, contribute in facilitated roundtable discussions with peers and play an active role in structured and informal break-out sessions and moderated workshops to learn from and network with peers and solutions providers in an intimate and interactive environment. .

Whilst there are sponsors in attendance, the programme is designed with the end-user in mind. The delegate attendance is comprised of the most well respected executives in the manufacturing industry, and the meeting format is designed to surpass the traditional exchange of business cards and allow executives to communicate on a personal level whilst ultimately gaining a better understanding of how to address their most common challenges.
