Wisconsin Digital Symposium

The Wisconsin Digital Symposium is back—and this year, it’s part of something bigger.

On June 1, UWEBC will bring technology, data, and digital leaders together in Green Bay for a reimagined Digital Symposium, co-located with the Wisconsin Drives Manufacturing Summit taking place the very next day.

This year’s Symposium focuses on how organizations are operationalizing digital capabilities—from data and AI to platforms, analytics, intelligent products, and automation—to drive measurable outcomes across the enterprise and ecosystem. Rather than big-picture hype, the program emphasizes what’s actually working: how teams are scaling digital initiatives, aligning technology with business priorities, and enabling collaboration between technology, data, operations, and executive leadership.

Attendees can expect practical insights, peer-driven conversations, and examples grounded in real organizational challenges. Whether you’re modernizing legacy systems, embedding AI into workflows, or strengthening the digital foundation that supports manufacturing and operations, the Symposium is designed to meet you where you are—and help you move forward.

While registration is not yet open, we encourage you to sign up for our newsletter and special event announcement emails lists to be among the first to secure your spot!
