The 1st Annual Innovation Conference, brought to you by TecBridge and the Allan P. Kirby Center for Free Enterprise & Entrepreneurship at Wilkes University is a conference entirely devoted to emerging technologies in the Northeastern Pennsylvania region with proven opportunity for economic development.
Additive Manufacturing, a.k.a. 3D printing, is revolutionizing manufacturing as well as the product development process. This disruptive technology is poised to make a huge impact on industry worldwide. Northeast Pennsylvania is ripe to take advantage of the efficiencies Additive Manufacturing has to offer. Successful implementation will rely on our local industry’s willingness to adopt the technology as well as the readiness of our students and workforce to embrace a new way of doing business. The first annual NEPA Innovation Conference will focus on Additive Manufacturing — bringing together professionals, local academic institutions, and industry experts for two days, June 2nd and 3rd at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Conference Center in Pocono Manor, PA.
3D Printing may even be the new gold rush for NEPA! Imperial Machine & Tool Co. says, “3D printing offers an incredibly valuable currency: OPPORTUNITY.”
