Overview
This prestigious invite-only event brought together executives and leaders from across the world to share experiences, learn from each other, and explore the latest ideas and issues facing the industry.
EGLF is IBM’s premier event exclusively designed for the Electronics and High-Tech industry. Attendees include CEOs and Presidents, COOs, CTOs, CIOs, and executives of corporate strategy, manufacturing, sales, business development, R&D, marketing, supply chain, and product development.
