Production Pulse: What's Ahead for Manufacturing in 2024

As we prepare to close the books on 2023 and look ahead to the new year, IndustryWeek gathered top editors from several manufacturing media titles to discuss the year that was and the one to come. Sibling publications also owned by IndustryWeek parent company Endeavor Business Media offer unique insights on what manufacturers in different specialty markets have in common, and what's different.

The panel included:

• Karen Langhauser, chief content director for Pharma Manufacturing
• Lynne Sherwin, managing editor of Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing
• Jon Katz, executive editor of Chemical Processing
• Anna Townsend, manager editor of Plant Services and Control Design
• Robert Schoenberger, editor-in-chief, IndustryWeek

Please enjoy this recording of the discussion in which we established that some issues such as increased regulatory scrutiny and more trouble finding qualified workers are common throughout manufacturing, others are very specific to niches within the industrial world.
