At LEANutopia, we’ll explore where you are on the digital and Hyperautomation maturity curve—and what’s next. Whether you’re just starting to centralize your data or already juggling a suite of modular, interoperable tools, you’ll hear from speakers who’ve been in your shoes. Expect real strategies, lessons learned, and a few "we-did-this-wrong-first" moments.
🔹 30 VIP guests will join in person at the luxurious Spa Walden for a full 3-hour session featuring curated networking, interactive roundtable discussions, and a deep-dive strategy exchange in a relaxed, vendor-neutral setting. Guests will enjoy heavy appetizers and drinks throughout the evening as they connect with peers and explore real-world automation strategies.
