SUMMIT 2027

If you were with us in 2026, you already know the power of the conversations that happen here. Spending four days on the mountain creates raw, organic networking moments you simply cannot replicate anywhere else. The most valuable business breakthroughs your team had last year didn't happen in a sterile boardroom. They happened on a chairlift, in a condo, and over dinner. That is the entire point of this event.

The success of that format is exactly why we are launching G28. This is a new community built with a single, uncompromised mission to facilitate pure, organic conversations across the machining industry.

As our flagship gathering, the Machining Summit 2027 is now fully independent under the G28 banner. To protect this environment, the Summit is no longer owned by any single company. Instead, it is backed and supported by a wide coalition of corporate partners who all believe in keeping the Summit a neutral ground. You get the same mountain and the same elite peer network, but with a permanent guardrail around the unfiltered space you trust. Lock in your early access spot today and help us build the future of industry collaboration.

The relaxed environment of a winter resort offers the perfect backdrop to connect, share ideas, and talk business with elite shop owners and industry vendors between runs.

To guarantee the absolute best experience, our guides will choose between the river sections on-site based on real-time weather and water conditions. Whether you are a seasoned angler or trying fly fishing for the first time, all necessary premium tackle, flies, and gear are fully provided. This relaxed river setting offers the perfect environment for deep conversations and unparalleled networking with elite shop owners and industry vendors.

I prefer a mellow, comfortable pace. I am looking for a relaxed scenic tour on flat trails or groomed ski runs, with plenty of stops to chat and network.

Yes, I would like to receive occasional communications directly from G28 partners about products, services, educational content, and exclusive offers relevant to manufacturing. I understand my contact information may be shared only with participating G28 partners for this purpose, and I can opt out at any time.

TRAVEL DETAILS

Take advantage of United Airlines operating direct connection flights from San Francisco (SFO) and Denver (DEN) straight into Bishop Airport (BIH). Because so many elite shop owners and vendors take these specific routes, your networking experience officially begins right inside the United lounges at SFO and Denver before your plane even leaves the tarmac!

In 2026 we turned the flight from Denver into a Chartered flight 65 of 70 Passengers.  Let's fill the San Francisco and Denver Flights in 2027!
