Lean Summit is one of the biggest and most important meetings about lean in the world, and this will be its 11th edition. Over the years, the event has gathered ideas and examples that represent the frontier of lean knowledge. This year, various new features are planned to make the event even more complete and interactive. The theme will be "innovate, apply, share". Important subjects, like innovation, great transformations (lean turnaround) and people development will be addressed, with illustrations given by major international specialists in the field. Dozens of applied cases are confirmed, which will be presented by major companies from Brazil and abroad. This year, the number of sessions has been increased, which will enable the participant to have contact with a wider range of subjects, in a more dynamic way. We have also created new formats to provide a greater exchange of experiences: We will have the “Share your A3” challenge, which will enable those interested to tender for free places at the event, and “Open Space”, an activity to promote interaction between participants on specific subjects, which will take place during the event.
