Join AlphaLab Gear for the State of Hardware 2019: Bringing Hardware Products to Market

June 5, 2019 5:30 – 9:00 PM

Join us for an engaging evening discussing Fictiv’s 2019 State of Hardware Report and a hands-on TEARDOWN of a commercial powertool. We will have a lively panel discussion about the report and then break attendees into teams to compete in a unique teardown competition!

Reserve a spot on a team here – we have a limited number of spots available!

Check out some great examples of previous teardowns we’ve done on the Ficitv blog here! 

Fictiv’s 2019 State of Hardware Survey found that product developers are seeing new challenges exacerbating inefficiencies in manufacturing and supply chains. To compensate, product development teams are leveraging new technologies and tariff engineering strategies to circumvent obstacles and create a more agile supply chain.

We will have a spirited and interactive panel conversation with expert product developers and manufacturing engineers to discuss practical strategies on keeping projects on track in the face of new challenges and how to design agility into supply chains. All attendees will receive a special limited edition booklet of Fictiv’s 2019 State of Hardware Report.
