emPOWERUP Virtual is GrayMatter’s virtual event series for people who run and support real industrial operations.
Our events are built around practical conversations that focus on the challenges teams are working through right now.
The 2026 emPOWERUP Virtual series covers topics including OT cybersecurity, automated work instructions, AI-enabled production optimization and much more.
Each 60-minute session blends GrayMatter expertise with perspectives from trusted partners and real-world examples you can relate to your own operation.
Whether you work in operations, engineering, IT or digital transformation, emPOWERUP Virtual is designed to give you useful ideas you can take back to your team.
Join us live or on-demand throughout 2026 for insights into what is working across industrial environments today.

Digital Work Instructions That Actually Get Used: Feb. 3, 2026
Paper procedures and tribal knowledge slow production and introduce risk. This session explores how manufacturers are digitizing and automating work instructions on the plant floor to improve consistency, reduce errors and accelerate onboarding without disrupting operators.
Smarter Production Scheduling for Nimble Manufacturing: Feb. 25, 2026
Production plans rarely survive contact with reality. Learn how manufacturers are using advanced scheduling and optimization to respond to constraints, labor variability and unplanned events while keeping throughput and service levels on track.
Making Production Data Actionable, Not Just Visible: Mar. 24, 2026
Dashboards are easy. Insights are hard. This session focuses on how manufacturers are contextualizing plant data to uncover root causes, reduce downtime and drive continuous improvement across lines and sites.
Defense-in-Depth: Turning Point Solutions into an OT Cyber Strategy: April 2026
Most OT cybersecurity strategies aren’t failing because of the tools—they’re failing because the tools don’t work together.
In this upcoming webinar, we’re bringing together Blastwave, Octoplant (AMDT), and Tenable to show how a true defense-in-depth approach comes together in practice—from visibility and asset discovery, to configuration control, to Zero Trust access.
More importantly, we’ll show how GrayMatter connects these technologies into a unified, scalable program—so you’re not just buying point solutions, you’re actually reducing risk.
Designing Industrial Networks Built for Resilience: May 2026
From remote access to segmentation, this session looks at how manufacturers are modernizing OT networks to improve reliability, visibility and security as operations become more connected.
Using Advanced Analytics to Improve Throughput and Yield: Jun. 2026
AI and analytics only matter if they move the needle. Learn how manufacturers are applying advanced analytics to stabilize processes, reduce variability and unlock hidden capacity.
