Building the Future Faster

How Supply Chains Are Being Transformed by Advanced Manufacturing, Digital Twins, AI, and Automation

Keynote: Chris Mignano, Vice President of Manufacturing & Business Development, iRocket

A rocket engine that flies, lands, and flies again. A supply chain built to survive disruption instead of just absorbing it. Chris Mignano is helping build both, and he's joining us to show how it's actually done.

This is a MEGA event. Six Delaware Valley supply chain societies are co-hosting, so one registration puts you in a room with members from all of them.

About the Talk

Supply chains are being rebuilt in real time. Additive manufacturing, automation, AI-enabled engineering, and digitally connected operations are collapsing product development timelines that used to be measured in years. Nowhere is that pressure sharper than in aerospace and defense, where speed, agility, and resiliency are no longer competing priorities but requirements.

At the same time, organizations are racing to build secure, resilient, Made in the USA supply chains that can support national security, critical infrastructure, and advanced industrial innovation in a volatile global environment.

Chris will take us behind the scenes at an emerging aerospace manufacturer to show how Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 technologies are being used to accelerate innovation, strengthen domestic manufacturing, improve operational responsiveness, and build supply chain ecosystems that bend instead of breaking.

What You'll Take Away

How additive manufacturing, digital twins, co-botics, AI, and automation are reshaping supply chains and manufacturing operations
Why resilient, secure, Made in the USA supply chains matter more now than they have in decades
How engineering, manufacturing, operations, and supply chain management are converging in Industry 4.0 and 5.0 environments

Who Should Attend

Supply chain, procurement, operations, and manufacturing professionals; engineers moving toward operations leadership; and students exploring careers in advanced manufacturing and supply chain management.

About Chris Mignano

Chris Mignano is Vice President of Manufacturing and Business Development at iRocket (Innovative Rocket Technologies), a New York based company developing rocket engines and Shockwave, a small reusable launch vehicle. iRocket's goal is to build the world's first fully autonomous, 100% reusable rocket engines.

In his role, Chris is helping build a secure, scalable, made-in-the-USA supply chain designed to strengthen domestic manufacturing resilience and support U.S. defense and aerospace readiness. The work runs on the fundamentals: close supplier coordination, production schedule alignment, and disciplined risk management.

Chris previously contributed to engineering and innovation initiatives at GE Aerospace and Innoveering. He holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. His blend of engineering leadership, advanced manufacturing, and business development gives him a rare vantage point on what modern supply chain management actually demands.

Seating is limited and registration closes Friday, October 9, 2026. No walk-ins are permitted, so please register before the deadline.
