Good people. Great connections.

You’ve earned a break from troubleshooting.

Back by popular demand, Automation Happy Hour #2 brings the industrial automation community together for an evening of cold pints, warm conversations, and questionable engineering jokes.

Machine builders, integrators, engineers, manufacturers, distributors, and fellow automation misfits: this one’s for you. Catch up with familiar faces, meet someone new, and trade a few stories from the shop floor.

The only thing we’re commissioning is a good evening.
01 / RECONNECT

Your people, off the clock.

Put faces to email signatures and catch up with the people who understand your day.

02 / SWAP STORIES

Bring your best “you won’t believe this.”

From clever fixes to mysterious faults, the best conversations rarely need a slide deck.

03 / UNWIND

Less screen time. More face time.

Leave the meeting invites behind for a few hours. Grab your drink of choice and settle in.
