AI & Cybersecurity in Manufacturing:

Protecting the Plant

Today’s manufacturing leaders are being asked to move faster, operate smarter, and embrace new technologies — all while keeping their operations secure, compliant, and resilient.

Join us for a focused, two-hour luncheon designed specifically for plant managers, operations leaders, and manufacturing business owners who want practical insight — not sales pitches — on how AI adoption and cybersecurity intersect on the plant floor.

This program features two experienced experts, each delivering brief, high-impact presentations:

• Marc Fryer, InnovAItrix, will address AI adoption through the lens of corporate responsibility, helping manufacturers understand how to leverage AI tools while managing risk, accountability, and operational impact.

• Ryan Harvey, Winsor Consulting Group, will follow with a clear, real-world look at cybersecurity, focusing on how manufacturers can better protect systems, data, and operations in an increasingly connected environment.

The session will be moderated by Melissa Basa, Regional Manager, IMEC, ensuring the discussion stays grounded in manufacturing realities and best practices.

To make the experience even better, attendees will enjoy a boxed lunch provided by The Red Bottle, the newest addition to Wheeling’s Restaurant Row — with the restaurant’s new owner on site, offering a sneak preview of what’s to come.

If you’re responsible for protecting your people, your processes, and your plant, this is a valuable two hours to step away from the floor and gain insight you can actually use.
