There are a variety of virtual networking formats at Digital Manufacturing Week to enable our global audience to connect across different time zones with colleagues that you may never have met before!
Digital Manufacturing Week Networking Lounge & Connects
Running throughout the whole of Digital Manufacturing Week and accessible to all attendees is the dedicated networking lounge. Each day there will be different text chats enabling delegates to dip in and out of conversations 24/7 and share their insights, ask their questions on major topics or sectors.

The private virtual round tables taking place from 18.00 – 19.30 GMT across the event, and attendees are sent a fine wine of their choice in advance to enjoy during the conversation.
