The industry isn't waiting. neither should you.

AI is rewriting the rules. Supply chains are shifting overnight. On-demand production is moving faster than anyone predicted. The leaders who come out ahead aren’t the ones with the most resources. They’re the ones with the right connections.

KONNECTIONS ’27 puts you in that room: a curated circle of roughly 600 decision-makers across brands, production, technology, and supply chain, hand-selected because they’re the ones actually shaping what happens next. Not a trade show floor. Not a badge scan. A room built for the conversations that turn into partnerships.

At the center of it all is Wonderland, our fully immersive Solutions Showcase where the technology driving this industry’s next chapter comes to life in front of you.

Walk in facing an industry that won’t slow down. Walk out with the partnerships and the clarity to lead it.
