Shop Talk & Food Truck | Omni Ventures × Uptool | Friday Nov 6 | San Jose

The people building manufacturing technology should know the people running the machines.

Join Omni Ventures and Uptool at VTN Manufacturing’s machine shop in San Jose for a meal and casual gathering of local shop owners, startup founders, and industry partners working on the future of manufacturing.

We’re bringing together hands-on operators and founders building software, robotics, and automation to swap ideas, talk through real shop-floor challenges, and find opportunities to work together.

Expect good conversation and great food in the parking lot, with the shop’s cargo door open and CNC machines as the backdrop. Catering will be provided by a top local Vietnamese food truck.

Whether you run a shop, build tools for one, or help bring new technology into production, come meet the people making things happen.
