SOUTHEAST Session: This session will explore the transformative potential of industrial CT technology to revolutionize quality control in manufacturing and product development. Attendees will learn how CT enables faster, more accurate inspections, improves defect detection, and reduces waste while accelerating innovation and ensuring product reliability. We will examine the challenges of adopting these systems, including cost, workflow integration, and training, and share best practices for successful implementation across industries. In addition, we will highlight the role of automated inspection systems, their integration with complementary technologies, and what the future of digital quality control holds for organizations seeking a sustainable competitive edge in manufacturing.
SOUTHEAST Session:
SOUTHEAST Session: America is facing a challenge that threatens our economic future: a widening skills gap between the jobs available in industry and the preparation of our workforce. In this engaging talk, this Presentation will explore why this gap exists—and how we can close it. Drawing from years of experience and insights the presenter will highlights the historical shifts that shaped America’s workforce, the rapid pace of technological change, and the mismatch between traditional education pathways and modern industry needs. The talk will emphasize that this is not just a labor issue, it’s an innovation issue, a productivity issue, and ultimately, a national competitiveness issue. With a practical, solutions-driven approach, Mark Goodman outlines strategies for building stronger partnerships between educators, employers, and policymakers. He shares success stories from companies and training programs that have embraced hands-on learning, technical certifications, and competency-based education to develop a highly skilled workforce.
