CADIA Roundtable

A Peer Exchange

Six times a year, senior HR, Talent, and Culture leaders from manufacturing companies come together to solve real problems around culture, inclusion, and advancement.

Each session is built around what participants are navigating right now--topics like connecting with plant floor employees for advancement opportunities, return to office, the future of DEI,  knowledge transfer before retirement, AI adoption without governance paralysis, manager effectiveness during restructuring, engagement when everyone's stretched thin.

The format is intentionally simple. Open dialogue. Peer learning. Best practice sharing. No sales pitches, no heavy lectures - just experienced practitioners helping each other move faster.

Four sessions happen in person/hybrid at member sites. Two are virtual. Every session ends with something you can use the following week.

Participation is limited to CADIA members and invited guests. If you're leading culture, talent, or HR strategy at a manufacturing company and want to learn alongside peers who get your constraints, this is where that happens.
