Have you booked your flight to Orlando for ROKLive 2022? Or are you learning more about the smart manufacturing event of the year before you decide to register?

Either way, this blog is for you.

At ROKLive, you’re going to have some decisions to make. Sure, you’ll attend the keynotes and you won’t miss the party at the world’s largest Hard Rock Café, but what about the rest of your agenda? With well over 100 impactful sessions on tap, it’s time to consider which you’re most excited about.

Let’s take a chronological walk through your potential Tuesday at ROKLive:

Hear from a leading food manufacturer on how they navigated the supply chain crunch and are seasoning up some new products and technologies to grow their customer base. Led by VP of Product Management Ara Surenian, this one’s a session anyone in operations management can appreciate.

You'll also learn how to connect these insights for better forecasting and portfolio planning through the Plex Market Forecast Manager application.

Ransomware Prevention: How to Improve Your Data Security Practices
