Think.Do

GrayMatter's Think.Do Leadership Series is a day of workshops built for manufacturing, energy and other industrial leaders who are responsible for turning strategy into results – plus, your registration includes a 1-night hotel stay and a ticket to a major conference the next day.

In 2026, we will visit Chicago on June 23, Atlanta on Aug. 18 and Pittsburgh on Sept. 15.

Each Think.Do event coincides with a manufacturing show happening the same week — Automate, AIMST and Pittsburgh Robotics & AI Discovery Day — giving you multiple reasons to break away from the day-to-day.

We also gather important data contributing to our Manufacturing Voices of Vision report, you’ll have access to that publication after the series.

Our in-person sessions bring together industry peers, subject matter experts and practitioners for focused learning and tabletop exercises around pressing industrial challenges: modernizing operations, improving reliability, leveraging data, securing OT environments, and enabling smarter decision-making on the plant floor.

“I came away with some great ideas to drive MES roadmap.”

"Everyone seems to have similar problems. It’s important to involve cross functional teams when developing OT needs."

“Realizing we need to get our hands around where we are with OT security and develop a strategy to communicate and close the gaps.”

“We’re not as behind as we feel compared to others, but there’s plenty of work to do."
