*who are these strange people* trying to get us to spend time and effort on
their conference/workshops?


MForesight was established by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the
> National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in September 2015
> through a cooperative agreement with the University of Michigan to serve as
> a national think-tank to identify emerging technologies, create roadmaps
> for advanced manufacturing and engage with broader manufacturing community.


A “think-and-do” tank focused on the future of American manufacturing



*more details about the workshop in August*

 We believe that these trends could foster manufacturing innovation, and
> are interested in informing a national agenda to make the most of these
> opportunities.* We’re gathering a small group of innovators and
> manufacturers to discuss:*
>
>    - What advances in *hardware, software, and services *would have the
>    biggest impact on *increasing the variety and value of what an
>    individual could design, prototype, and manufacture?*
>    - How can entrepreneurs best be supported to make the transition from
>    “making” to low-volume manufacturing?
>    - What are the barriers that entrepreneurs and SMMs (small and
>    medium-sized manufacturers) face when trying to access an established
>    supply chain?
>    - How can we lower barriers to accessing new technologies by SMMs?
