FABTECH Feud: A Game Show to Review Popular Tech Trends in Manufacturing
In the popular TV series—Family Feud—two families compete to predict the most popular answers to survey questions. In this FABTECH version, Kelly Hamilton, Senior Manager of Customer Relations at Rootstock Software, will host captains from two manufacturing companies. These captains will use their industry expertise and experience to predict manufacturer’s answers to important tech trend questions. The answers have already been tallied in the 2024 State of Manufacturing Technology Survey. In addition, the audience will be divided into two sides and invited to participate by shouting out suggestions in support of their respective side’s captain. In this fun and participatory session, captains and attendees alike will learn and engage in the latest tech trends. Prizes will be awarded to interactive attendees at the end.
