Modern Design Alliance Symposium, Boston, August 14-15, 2019

BOSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 15, 2019 — We are entering the era of the fourth industrial revolution, unlocking $3.7 trillion in economic value by 2025, according to World Economic Forum. We also live in an on-demand, real-time world, where digital citizens demand everything ‘now’ – from ride shares to customer service. Yet, many of the product development platforms are not designed to meet the speed of ‘now’ or the needs of today’s digital workforce.

Onshape, the product innovation company, is hosting the Modern Design Alliance (MDA) symposium in Boston and bringing together visionaries from more than a dozen forward looking companies. The primary goal is to discuss ways to modernize the product development industry, including:

• how digital transformation is changing the face of product development
• designing in a connected, ‘now’ era
• how to better empower the digital workforce so they can innovate untethered
• best practices and
• what’s next for the industry.
