Recently, DMSC announced the availability of sponsorship opportunities at the upcoming 2025 MBE/QIF Summit. Almost right away, many enthusiastic solution providers from last year’s event jumped on the opportunity and reserved sponsorship slots. A limited number of sponsorship spots are still available.

This premier MBE/QIF event, hosted by NIST, MxD, and DMSC, will be held April 15^th– 17^th, 2025, at the MxD facility in Chicago. Expect the program schedule to be filled with MBE and QIF subject matter experts from a variety of industries and perspectives. The MTConnect organization will also be participating, adding both speakers and attendees. Due to facility limitations, attendance will be limited to 200 participants, and we anticipate another sold-out event. 

Even better than 2024! A major change for 2025 is that we will be sharing attendee information with our sponsors. The attendee registration process will follow best marketing practices, allowing them to ” opt-in ” when they register. 

Additionally, the 2025 event will be making slight changes to the presentation schedule to ensure sponsors have plenty of opportunities to converse with attendees. Exhibitor tables will be in close proximity as attendees gather for breaks and receptions.

Previous event sponsors found attendees to be highly focused and made for the highest quality leads. We expect the same for this 2025 event.

The post 2025 MBE/QIF Summit Sponsorship Opportunities Nearly Sold Out appeared first on DMSC.

DMSC is pleased to announce the return of the highly popular MBE/QIF Summit for 2025. Survey data from 2024 attendees show a high degree of satisfaction by participants. This premier event, hosted by NIST, MxD, and DMSC, will be held April 15^th– 17^th, 2025, at the MxD facility in Chicago.

Previous sponsors of the event are being given early sponsorship opportunities. DMSC will open availability to potential sponsors on December 2^nd. We expect to make slight changes to the presentation schedule to ensure sponsors have plenty of opportunities to converse with attendees.

A major change for 2025 is that we can share attendee information with our sponsors. The registration process will follow best marketing practices, with attendees ” opting in ” when they register. 

This year, the Summit presentations will be even more integrated between MBE and QIF throughout the three days. Since one registration fee covers both events, we anticipate most MBE Summit participants will stay on for the QIF Summit. Due to facility limitations, attendance will be limited to 200 participants, and we anticipate another sold-out event. 

Also this year, we have created a sponsor program to ensure that sponsors have extended access to the attendees in a relaxed and collegial environment. Tabletop sponsors can choose their table location based on the date they make their sponsorship reservation. Previous event participants were found to be highly focused and made for the highest quality leads. We expect the same for this 2025 event!

The post DMSC In-Person Meeting at IMTS 2024 appeared first on DMSC.

The MBE Summit provided a platform for participants to discuss challenges, implementation issues, and lessons learned related to design, manufacturing, quality assurance, and sustainment of products and processes when a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) approach is used. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Smart Connected Systems Division organized technical content for the MBE Summit

The DMSC is a member-funded, non-profit organization focused on developing and supporting interoperability standards and quality data frameworks for digital metrology in manufacturing. The DMSC’s Quality Information Framework (QIF) standard is at the heart of its mission of interoperability and providing traceability of quality data.

Attendees gave positive feedback on the location and size of the venue, which led to the decision to hold the 2025 edition at MxD Chicago, April 15 – 17. Organizers are also using feedback for suggested topics to set the theme for the 2025 Summit.
