Manufacturing & Automation eXchange (MAX) 2026
We’re excited to announce we will be joining Scanology at the Manufacturing & Automation eXchange (MAX), taking place March 24–26, 2026 at Music City Center in Nashville. Created in response to the rapid evolution of modern manufacturing, MAX brings together leaders in automation, engineering, safety, quality, packaging, and production to collaborate on the future of smart factories and integrated systems. By merging the strengths of five respected manufacturing media brands—ASSEMBLY, Quality Magazine, Adhesives & Sealants Industry, ISHN, Paint & Coatings Industry, and Packaging Strategies—MAX delivers a unified, cross-disciplinary event that reflects how today’s manufacturers truly operate and innovate.
Nashville provides an energetic and accessible backdrop for this inaugural gathering. Known not only for its music heritage but also for its expanding logistics and advanced manufacturing presence, the city offers an ideal setting for high-value networking, education, and hands-on technology exploration. Attendees can expect far more than a traditional trade show. MAX emphasizes interactive learning and real-world problem solving through immersive workshops, peer discussions, and live demonstrations designed to address today’s most pressing production and workforce challenges.
The MAX eXperience educational program features six in-depth workshops, targeted main-stage sessions, daily roundtable discussions, and a featured keynote on the future of manufacturing. Topics span artificial intelligence, digital transformation, robotics, sustainability, safety modernization, quality systems, workforce development, and operational excellence. Industry professionals across automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, energy, and general manufacturing will find tailored sessions and practical strategies they can immediately apply within their facilities.
At Booth #523, Digitize Designs will be demoing the full lineup of Scanology 3D scanning solutions, how precision data capture and advanced metrology tools are transforming inspection, reverse engineering, CAD modeling, and quality workflows across industries. Visitors will experience live demonstrations, interactive scanning examples, and direct access to experts who understand both the technical requirements and business outcomes manufacturers demand.
Whether you are exploring automation initiatives, strengthening quality processes, or seeking smarter digital workflows, MAX offers a collaborative environment where innovation is put to work in real time.
