16-18 November 2026 | Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel & Conference Center
Most industry events are built around passive listening.
The OpEx FusionTM Amsterdam Experience is built around operational execution.
Join European manufacturing, operational excellence, digital transformation, and enterprise leaders for three days of practical insights, peer learning, and real-world problem solving.
The Participation Architecture
Most conferences are designed for sitting in the dark.
OpEx FusionTM is built entirely for active participation. We believe the most valuable insights emerge when operators, transformation leaders, and manufacturing executives openly share real execution challenges, compare multi-site experiences, and learn from each other’s successes and failures.
Why Amsterdam? The Nexus of European Execution
Amsterdam provides an ideal meeting point for manufacturing, operations, and transformation leaders across Europe and beyond. With world-class connectivity, a strong local industrial ecosystem, and direct access from major international hubs, it creates the perfect, frictionless environment for meaningful business conversations.

Learn: Operator-
Led Insights
Hear directly from manufacturing, operations, and transformation leaders sharing practical lessons, implementation challenges, and operational breakthroughs.
- No generic presentations.
- No vendor sales pitches.
- Just real-world experiences from leaders
- responsible for corporate execution.
Relationships Beyond The Stage
Most business relationships do not begin during presentations.
Fusion Night creates a dedicated environment where attendees, speakers, sponsors and industry leaders can continue conversations in a more relaxed setting designed for meaningful connections.
Because the best conversations often happen after the sessions end.
What happens after the applause Fades?
Most conferences end the moment you check out of the hotel. OpEx Fusion is architected differently. The conversations, insights, and relationships continue long after Amsterdam. Because operational excellence is not a two-day conversation.
Fusion Brief: Building The Intelligence Layer
Capturing the signals, macroeconomic challenges, and emerging priorities gathered directly from our senior operators, transformation leaders, and manufacturing executives. Fusion Brief transforms the raw conversations from the community into practical industry intelligence.
- Attendees help shape the discussion.
