Proceeding the gala dinner will be three in-depth conversations with the inductees who were nominated by their peers and then voted in by the general public. In no particular order, our first inductee for 2018 is Professor Emanuel Sachs.

Known to many as Ely he is not only a professor at MIT, co-founder at Desktop Metal, and the inventor of the binder-jetting process, but he is the man that coined the very term for which an entire industry is shaped.
