We kindly invite you to participate in the 1st International Conference on Progress in Digital and Physical Manufacturing (ProDPM'19), taking place on October 2-4, 2019, in Leiria, Portugal. 

The city of Leiria is located one hour north from Lisbon, with a Mediterranean climate and oceanic influence, and its strategic position in the Central Region of Portugal boosted the development of a strong industrial cluster. Leiria is a beautiful city with a striking royal castle, built in 1135 by the first king of Portugal, Dom Afonso Henriques, being the setting of several cortes (feudal parliaments). The historical city centre spreads between the castle hill and the river Lis. 

ProDPM'19 aims at providing a major international forum for the scientific exchange of multi-disciplinary and inter-organizational aspects in the field of digital and physical manufacturing and related areas, bringing together leading academics, scientists and industrial experts. Join us and get involved in this exciting event, to network with your peers and inspiring keynotes coming from academia, business and industry worldwide.

Conference Keynotes Speakers:

• Eujin Pei, Brunel University, UK
• Igor Drstvensek, University of Maribor, Slovenia
• Patrik Ohldin, Freemelt, Sweeden
• Paulo Bártolo, University of Manchester, UK
• Terry Wohlers, Wohlers Associates, USA
