Registration is now open for the 2025 Top Shops Conference.
Modern Machine Shop is pleased to announce that registration is officially open for the 2025 Top Shops Conference, the premier event for CNC machining business improvement. Taking place November 11-12, 2025 at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina, the conference will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers for two days of insights and valuable networking.
Now in its ninth year, the Top Shops Conference is built around the data-driven insights of Modern Machine Shop’s annual Top Shops Benchmarking Survey. Attendees will hear from real-world shop leaders, discover proven strategies, and gain access to exclusive benchmarking data that reveals how top-tier shops outperform the competition.
Conference highlights include:
- Keynotes and breakout sessions led by top-performing shops and industry experts
- A live panel discussion with the 2025 Top Shops Honorees
- Networking receptions and access to the NASCAR Hall of Fame exhibit
- Hands-on learning opportunities focused on machining technology, workforce development, and business strategy
A special feature of this year's Top Shops Conference is an exclusive pre-conference tour of Roush Yates Manufacturing Solutions and the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Attendees will witness firsthand how raw materials are transformed into championship-winning engines through cutting-edge machining, meticulous assembly, and rigorous testing processes. The experience then moves from the world-class production facility to the iconic Charlotte Motor Speedway where visitors will tour all three racetracks and stand in Victory Lane - a rare behind-the-scenes experience where innovation meets motorsports.
