Top Shops Conference is the business improvement event built for CNC machining shops. It brings together owners and executives, engineers and operators — covering everything from process technology and shopfloor practices to business strategy and human resources, for shops of every size, from the small job shop to global manufacturers. Through data-driven research and expert-led sessions, Top Shops delivers unique insight into the trends, tactics, and technologies helping machining businesses run more productively and profitably.​

Who Attends: ​​

  • Owners, executives, engineers, managers and operators at CNC machining businesses

  • Sourcing and procurement professionals at OEMs, Tier suppliers and large manufacturers

  • Suppliers and vendors of manufacturing technology equipment and services

​

Do I Have to take the Top Shops survey or be a "Top Shop" to attend? ​

​Absolutely not. We encourage all participants to take the Top Shops survey. But, Top Shops is also a great place to learn about the program; network directly with current and past participants and hear from current and past Top Shops honorees.
