EX3 Labs, along with innovation partner 1871, customized a tech talk and playground to walk Knauf through emerging technologies that are enabling manufacturers to transform their operations. Each station was designed to foster discussion around how technologies could be applied directly to solve Knauf's pain points.

In a small window of time, breakout groups learned to quickly work through ideas that were forward-thinking and unburdened by limitations of their current environment, and visually demonstrate solutions. The result was a series of fully fleshed-out solutions to digitize Knauf's workflow.
