Shaping the Future of Operational Performance

Operations Connect at World of Volvo brings together senior Operations, Supply Chain and Technology leaders for an exclusive one-day forum at the home of one of the world's most respected industrial brands.

Set against the backdrop of Volvo's legacy of innovation, sustainability and engineering excellence, the forum will explore how manufacturers are navigating a new era of disruption, digital transformation and industrial reinvention. From AI-powered decision-making and supply chain resilience to sustainability, competitiveness and operational excellence, attendees will gain insights into the trends reshaping global industry.

Through a dynamic programme of keynote presentations, executive panel discussions, fireside chats and interactive roundtables, participants will engage with leading manufacturers, industry experts and technology innovators to share ideas, challenge conventional thinking and uncover practical strategies for building more intelligent, agile and future-ready operations.

This is not a trade show. No expo floor. No badge scanning. No noise. Just executive dialogue.
