EVENTS & INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT

Where Manufacturers and Distributors Connect

These events exist for one reason: to give you space to think clearly about digital, alongside people dealing with the same constraints you are. Some are larger and structured. Some are intentionally small.

All of them are built around real experiences — what customers do, what teams struggle with, and what actually moves adoption forward over time. This page is your hub for the events we host and the industry events we attend.

Events We Host

These are the events we design and host ourselves. Each one is built to reduce noise, create clarity, and help you leave with a stronger sense of what to do next — not just more ideas.

The Blueprint Summit

October 2026 - Baltimore, Maryland

The Blueprint Summit is built for manufacturers and distributors who want real answers — not hype. You’ll hear directly from operators who’ve built and scaled digital channels inside businesses that look like yours: complex catalogs, legacy systems, and high customer expectations.

The focus isn’t on what should work in theory. It’s on what does work in practice.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:

  • What actually drives digital adoption

  • Where teams get stuck after launch

  • How to move your digital strategy forward with confidence

The Blueprint Dinner Series

Next Event: October 2026

The Blueprint Dinner Series brings together manufacturing and distribution leaders who are working through the same digital challenges — often without a clear place to talk them through.

These small-format dinners are designed for peer-level conversation around questions like:

  • How do we modernize without disrupting the business?

  • How do we get customers to actually adopt digital?

  • How do we align teams that weren’t built for this?

You’ll connect with others facing similar tradeoffs and leave with practical insight you won’t get from a webinar.

There are no slides. There is no selling. Just honest conversation in a private, relaxed setting built for clarity.

Events We’re Attending

We also spend a lot of time in the industry — attending, speaking at, and supporting events across manufacturing, distribution, and B2B commerce. If you’re already planning to attend one of these, it’s often the easiest place to start a conversation.
