OpenText World 2026: What’s in it for the manufacturing industry?
Manufacturers are under pressure to modernize faster than ever. But standing in the way of success are isolated AI pilots, disconnected information, and fragmented supply chains. How can you build a trusted information foundation to help you overcome these challenges?
OpenText World 2026 in Orlando, October 19–22, is the place to find answers to this question and many more. The event’s manufacturing focus—including speaker sessions, breakouts, advisory boards, and forums—offers insight and advice about what’s on your mind today and what to think about for tomorrow.
New to this year’s conference is the Industry Advisory Board for manufacturing. This focused gathering brings together senior industry leaders to discuss trends, challenges, and innovation opportunities. Participation is open to interested attendees and subject to approval to ensure a curated peer-to-peer experience. Find more information here.
Join us for the Manufacturing Industry Forum (Wednesday, 11:30 a.m.) to find out how peers from across the industry are moving AI to the core of their supply chains. You’ll also hear from Simon Ellis, Group Vice President at IDC, who will offer his perspectives on manufacturing and supply chain strategies. And two enterprise manufacturers who are using AI will share their experiences and expectations.
The conference also offers use cases, client success stories, how-to sessions, product roadmaps, round tables, and more. Here are just a few with a manufacturing lens that you won’t want to miss:
