Configit Announces the 11th Annual Virtual Summit on Configuration Lifecycle Management
Configit Holds its 11th Annual Virtual Summit on Configuration Lifecycle Management
Configit, the global leader in Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM), has announced the upcoming 11th Annual Virtual Summit, scheduled for May 6 and 7, 2026. This two-day event will delve into the complexities of customization within the manufacturing sector and how businesses can leverage AI to create profitable and scalable solutions.
As the demand for mass customization continues to grow, manufacturers face increasing pressures to maintain scalability and profitability while ensuring operational alignment. Current statistics reveal that over half of manufacturers are already offering customized products, with nearly all forecasting a rise in customization demand in the coming years. This surge in product variability drives complexities across engineering, sales, production, and service sectors, necessitating advanced approaches to product data management and configuration logic.
The 2026 Summit aims to address how effective CLM can enable manufacturers to tackle these challenges while harnessing the full potential of AI and product mass customization. Prominent speakers at the summit will include executives from Accenture, CNH Industrial, Deloitte, Premier Tech, PTC, and Vestas, who will share their hands-on experiences and insights.
The agenda includes two keynote sessions focusing on the role of AI in discrete manufacturing. Special attention will be paid to how configuration technology can play a pivotal role in driving successful AI initiatives. As digital threads and AI become fundamental to innovation in manufacturing, establishing a reliable and comprehensive product database is essential for transforming complexity into scalable growth.
Johan Salenstedt, CEO of Configit, emphasized the current need for manufacturers to deliver greater customization without sacrificing efficiency or profitability. He stated, "The key to achieving this balance lies in establishing a reliable product database that connects systems and facilitates confident business decisions. The CLM Summit will demonstrate how leading organizations are accomplishing this."
Configit offers groundbreaking solutions for CLM and is recognized for its critical software in configuring complex products. All of its products leverage the patented Virtual Tabulation® (VT™) technology, which has transformed product configuration by enhancing speed and complexity management. This technology enables Configit to provide powerful and user-friendly configuration solutions to world-leading enterprises.
