Eat. Mingle. Make new friends.

As momentum builds to restore American manufacturing, a growing divide is emerging between the few companies ready to lead and the many still running on outdated, disconnected systems. This digital divide isn’t about access to technology, but about the ability and willingness to modernize. Manufacturers who can’t move fast, automate, or connect their systems simply won’t be able to scale in this new era.

In this TIGER Talk, our featured speaker, Ryan Lunka, will explore how this gap is quietly holding back our industrial revival and why fixing it is more than a tech upgrade. It’s a strategic necessity.

Ryan will break down the hidden costs of legacy systems, the cultural barriers slowing change, and the practical shifts manufacturers can make to stay competitive in the decade ahead.
