The future of quality and the unprecedented rate of change will be addressed by forward-thinking speakers in an upcoming event from ASQ.

To be held on November 13–14 in Dallas, Texas, The Quality 4.0 Summit on Disruption, Innovation, and Change promises to help attendees unlearn the practices of the past, and relearn how to succeed despite an ever-changing business landscape.
