SME is looking for speakers with the following qualifications:
* Speakers who can share their noncommercial best practices, case studies and innovations in manufacturing.
* Qualified speakers should have a good understanding of advanced manufacturing and a familiarity with specific technologies and/or processes used in a variety of industries.
