WHY
Join us to influence the Future of Making Things. Change is in the air – the way we design, make and use products is rapidly changing. The traditional approaches to product development are no longer enough for companies to keep a competitive edge.
The power of the cloud is breaking down the walls between design, manufacturing and product data–opening the door for a highly connected and collaborative ecosystem. The Forge initiative gives software developers and businesses the tools to create a cloud connected ecosystem.
Forge DevCon, with its abundance of industry experts, classes and exhibits, will help you leverage the cloud as a way to re-imagine what is possible, and discover how it can create entirely new opportunities for developers and customers.
