Seven tracks, one floor
Components through on-road autonomy, programmed so the whole buying decision is in one building.
Seven tracks. One buying decision.
The programme is organised the way a deployment is sourced, not the way a trade show is sold.
The tracks
Each track runs all three days and takes on the questions that actually decide a purchase.
-
P1
Components, Sensing & Compute
Actuation, perception hardware, edge silicon.
- Actuator supply and lead times
- Perception stacks that survive a real floor
- Edge compute budgets
- Second-sourcing critical parts
-
P2
Embodied Intelligence & Software
Foundation models, simulation, control stacks.
- Robot foundation models in production
- Sim-to-real that holds up
- Data collection at fleet scale
- What the control stack still cannot do
-
P3
Industrial & Fixed Automation
Arms, cells, machine tending, inspection.
- Cell design and changeover time
- Machine tending economics
- Inspection and quality automation
- Retrofitting a plant that cannot stop
-
P4
Mobile, Logistics & Field
AMRs, warehouse systems, outdoor and field robots.
- Mixed fleets under one traffic manager
- Warehouse throughput after go-live
- Outdoor and unstructured environments
- Safety cases for shared floors
-
P5
Humanoid & General-Purpose
General-purpose platforms and their suppliers.
- Where general-purpose actually pays
- Pilot results nobody has published
- The supplier base behind the platforms
- Timelines worth planning against
-
P6
Integration, Deployment & RaaS
Integrators, fleet operations, robots-as-a-service.
- Integrator capacity as the real constraint
- RaaS pricing that survives year three
- Fleet operations and uptime terms
- Who owns the outcome when it breaks
-
P7
On-Road Autonomy
Trucking, delivery, and the vehicle supply chain.
- Driver-out economics
- Freight networks adopting autonomy
- The vehicle platform supply chain
- Regulatory ground truth, state by state
How the days run
3 days in Chicago. Session times are published with the full agenda once the venue is contracted.
-
Day one
Theme TBD
Opening keynotes, pillar tracks, and the exhibition floor opens.
-
Day two
Theme TBD
Full track programme, hosted meetings, and the evening reception.
-
Day three
Theme TBD
Deployment case studies, closing keynotes, and site visits.
A timed agenda goes live once speakers are confirmed. An agenda published before that is a grid of empty slots, and this page will not carry one.
Session formats
Six things happen at ASSEMBLE. All of them are in every pass.
Curated meetings
Request the companies you want to meet. Both sides opt in, so nothing lands on your schedule uninvited.
The exhibition floor
Working systems, not banner stands. Every exhibitor demonstrates something that runs.
Deployment case studies
Operators presenting what they installed, what it cost, and what went wrong.
Executive roundtables
Closed-door sessions by sector, capped small enough that everyone speaks.
The evening programme
Receptions and dinners built for the conversations the sessions start.
