The Product Innovation Summit is part of the acclaimed Aberdeen Summit
Series. The seminars bring corporate executives and industry thought
leaders together to share information and provide actionable
recommendations for organizational advances. Summit participation is
limited to 200 executive level participants seeking to hear from and
network with industry thought leaders.
Summit participants will witness first hand how companies are managing the
complexity of global design and global supply chains; increasing speed to
market; improving product reliability; managing product data and processes
in collaborative engineering environments; implementing best practices to
meet their product development targets; designing products that comply with
increasingly complex regulations; developing products that incorporate
mechanical parts, electronics, and embedded software / systems engineering;
adopting product simulation and analysis to reduce the number of
prototypes, and much more.
"We are excited about bringing together industry executives and
best-in-class product innovation practitioners, to share success stories
and provide actionable recommendations for improving product development
and engineering performance," said Jim Brown, Senior Vice President of
Product Innovation Research at Aberdeen. "We are looking forward to sharing
our research findings to aid in transformation of product innovation
processes."
