World's Foremost Innovation Expert Josh Linkner to Keynote PowerPlex 2020

TROY, Mich., March 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Plex Systems, the leader in cloud ERP, MES and Industrial IoT for manufacturers, today announced Josh Linkner, a five-time tech entrepreneur, hyper-growth CEO, and New York Times bestselling author, will keynote PowerPlex 2020.

PowerPlex, hosted by Plex Systems, will be held May 12-14, 2020 at the TCF Center in Detroit. This event brings together more than 1,000 manufacturing leaders, industry experts, analysts, media, partners, and consultants to share smart manufacturing best practices, innovations, and to learn about the latest advances in manufacturing technology.

"The manufacturing industry is undergoing significant change, which has disrupted the landscape for businesses as they know it," said Linkner.
