Manufacturing Roundtable: From Idea to Impact

Building Customer-Driven Products with Strategic Marketing

How do you ensure your next product launch isn’t just a shot in the dark?

We are excited to welcome Don Melnikoff, innovation expert and COO of Imagen Energy, for our two-part roundtable event, where innovation meets marketing strategy. If you’re a B2B and manufacturing professional interested in bridging the gap between product development and go-to-market execution rooted in real customer insight and proven ABM strategies, you won’t want to miss this event!

Part One: Innovation that Sticks

In this session, Don will share the tools and frameworks used to build structured innovation systems that help entrepreneurial organizations scale through focused, repeatable, and market-responsive innovation. Discover how early customer feedback, internal idea vetting, and demand signals can determine whether a product is worth pursuing, long before launch.

Part Two: Fueling Your Launch with ABM

Once your product idea is set, how do you take it to market with focus and confidence? This session will walk you through a go-to-market strategy that utilizes an ABM approach to target the right accounts, activate campaigns, and measure ROI.
