September 22–23, 2026 · The Wade Hotel, Chicago

Your ERP says one thing. Your shop floor does another. The gap between them is where margin, on-time delivery, and sanity quietly disappear.

The Manufacturing Scheduling Summit 2026 is two days built for the people who live in that gap — planners, schedulers, operations leaders, and the IT teams who support them. No vendor theater, no abstract "digital transformation" keynotes. Just practical, peer-tested approaches to turning planning decisions into executable schedules your floor can actually run.

What you'll walk away with:

• A clearer framework for connecting enterprise planning to finite, constraint-based scheduling
• Real-world playbooks for reducing changeover time, improving on-time delivery, and reacting to disruption without firefighting
• What-if and scenario approaches that let you stress-test the schedule before it hits the floor
• Peer connections with scheduling leaders solving the same problems in regulated, high-mix environments

Who should attend:

Directors and VPs of Operations and Supply Chain, Production Planning and Scheduling leads, Plant Managers, S&OP owners, and IT/Digital leaders responsible for planning and execution systems — especially in pharma, medical device, food and beverage, aerospace, and automotive.
