Special Guest Speaker: Jay Rogers, Founder & CEO of Haddy, Inc.
“Revolutionizing Manufacturing with 3D Printing and AI”
Jay Rogers is transforming the future of manufacturing—right here in Florida. As the founder of Haddy, a next-gen micro-factory based in St. Petersburg, Jay is leading a movement toward hyper-efficient, AI-driven, and sustainable furniture production. Leveraging large-scale 3D printing and robotics, Haddy is changing how we think about design, production, and the very role of factories in the modern world.
From biodegradable materials and closed-loop recycling to custom furniture printed on-demand anywhere in the world, Haddy is proving that scalable, sustainable innovation doesn’t have to come from Silicon Valley—it can be homegrown.
Jay will share his insights into building a company where sustainability meets profitability, how AI and robotics are reshaping the future of manufacturing jobs, why local, digital production is the future of global supply chains, and what two decades of persistence taught him about innovation and timing.
"Find something hard enough that it’s not easily copied, but not so hard that it’s impossible."
— Jay Rogers
