It is designed for institutional, private equity, venture capital, angel, and individual investors and will concentrate on:

The Future of Additive Manufacturing: What Investors Need to Know

• Why are we seeing countless partnerships and what do they mean?
• AM growth has averaged 26.6% over the past five years. Will it continue at this rate over the next five years?
