About the Machining Summit on the Summit category

Welcome to the conversation.

The Machining Summit on the Summit is more than an event—it’s a gathering of builders, thinkers, and doers who believe the future of machining will be shaped by collaboration, not competition.

Here, shop owners, programmers, educators, and innovators come together to talk openly about what’s working, what’s changing, and where the trade is headed next. From automation to workforce development, from AI in CAM to real-world shop challenges—this is the space to share ideas and connect with others who care about the craft as much as you do.

Whether you’re joining us in Mammoth or following along from your shop, use this forum to keep the conversation going. Introduce yourself, ask questions, post photos, and share what you’re learning.

The mountain is just the start.
