The ha rder question is how to connect AI with robotics and automation to create real operational impact in regulated environments.\n\nAnd how do you do that without compromising production\, quality\, or compliance today\, so you can reach the outcome you want tomorrow?\n\nAspire is Stellix's hand s-on answer. It is not a keynote-heavy showcase\, and it is not a sales p resentation. It is a working look at how a desired outcome connects to th e capabilities it takes to get there\, and the operating model that makes the result stick.\n\nStart with the outcome you want. Then see the capab ilities and the operating model that deliver it\, running side by side.\n \nWhat Aspire is:\n\nAspire is Stellix's in-person event series for turni ng conversation into a real next step. Connection to Capability is the th ird event in the 2026 series. It builds on April's look at intelligent ma nufacturing and June's focus on moving from pilots to production\, and it is the first Aspire event run in partnership with WAAI.\n\nStellix is WA AI's Physical AI Mission Partner for 2026–2027. Together\, we are bringin g WAAI's network of senior life sciences leaders into the same room as St ellix customers and partners\, so the conversations are between peers who share the same operating context and the same compliance burden.\n\nThe idea behind the day is simple. Most technology conversations start with a tool. This one starts with a result. Every demonstration\, tour\, and di scussion is tied to a real operating outcome\, and none of it is shown in isolation.\n\nHow the day works:\n\nEvery stop on the floor follows the same four-step path\, so the day builds on itself.\n\nStart with the outc ome. What do you want to improve or achieve in your operation?\n\nSee the capability mix. Watch how data and AI\, robotics\, intelligent automatio n\, engineering\, and other capabilities work together to deliver it.\n\n Connect it to the operating model. Learn how OpsCore turns a desired outc ome into a practical\, governed path forward.\n\nChoose the next conversa tion. Meet the right expert\, book an Experience Center tour\, or set up a follow-up that fits your priorities.\n\nBy the time you reach the netwo rking hour\, you will know which of these conversations matters most for your team\, and who to have it with.\n\nWhat to expect:\n\nThe "why\," fr om Stellix leadership\n\nThe program opens with a short welcome from Stel lix CEO Jenn Azar. She frames why we built Aspire around outcomes rather than individual technologies\, so that you can judge everything you see a gainst the result you are trying to reach.\n\nThe "how\," through OpsCore \n\nNext comes an introduction to OpsCore\, the Stellix engagement model for turning a desired outcome into a practical\, governed operating path. You will see how an operating outcome becomes a set of KPIs\, a capabili ty mix\, a roadmap\, and a clear next step.\n\nLive demonstrations on the experience floor\n\nFrom 3:30 to 5:30 PM\, the experience floor is open. Expert stations and live demonstrations run throughout\, and you move be tween them based on your own interests. There are no assigned groups and no set rotation.\n\nDemonstrations span:\n\nData and AI\n\nRobotics as a service\n\nBusiness Transformation\n\nConsulting & Operating Model Design \n\nCybersecurity\n\nEngineering\n\nEach one shows how a capability conne cts to a real outcome and the operating model behind it. You will see cap abilities working together\, not a single technology on a stage.\n\nSmall -cohort Experience Center tours:\n\nTimed tours take small cohorts throug h the Stellix Experience Center\, including the Immersive Experience and the Future Lab. Both are designed as a low-risk proving ground for new op erating models\, a place to test an idea before it touches production.\n\ nTours run continuously in 15-minute intervals from 3:30 to 5:00 PM. Tour sign-up is available at check-in\, so you can pick your slot before the program begins. Tours are ideal for first-time visitors and for returning guests who want another look. They are optional.\n\nMeet the Experts:\n\ nBring your hardest operational problem. The Meet the Experts space puts you in direct conversation with the people who solve these problems every day. Come with a specific challenge\, such as a system you need to moder nize\, a process you cannot pause\, or a pilot that has stalled\, and tal k it through with practitioners.\n\nPurposeful networking\n\nThe day clos es with a cocktail hour and facilitated networking from about 6:00 to 7:0 0 PM. Themed tables give every conversation a point\, so you meet the peo ple working on the problems closest to yours. The goal is conversations t hat move things forward\, not business cards.\n\nThe day at a glance:\n\n 2:00–3:00 PM: Doors open\, registration and check-in\, Experience Center tour sign-up\n\n3:00–3:15 PM: Welcome from Jenn Azar\n\n3:15–3:30 PM: Int roduction to OpsCore\n\n3:30–5:30 PM: Experience floor open with live dem onstrations\, expert stations\, and Experience Center tours\n\n5:30–6:00 PM: Final conversations at the stations\n\n6:00–7:00 PM: Cocktail hour an d themed networking\n\nWho should attend:\n\nAspire is built for people m aking real operational decisions. It is not designed for a general indust ry audience.\n\nLife sciences leaders exploring how AI moves from ambitio n to something that runs under real regulatory\, quality\, and throughput pressure. CTOs\, VPs of Operations\, and Chief Digital Officers will fin d the day built around exactly that question.\n\nWAAI members. As part of the WAAI network\, you are invited to see first-hand how outcome-led AI applies to real operating environments\, grounded in life sciences rather than abstracted from it.\n\nStellix customers and partners evaluating ho w to modernize systems and operations without pausing production. Aspire offers a direct look at how Stellix designs\, implements\, and governs th at path\, and how it runs day to day.\n\nWhy attend:\n\nSee the capabilit y mix at work. See data\, AI\, robotics\, automation\, reliability\, cybe rsecurity\, and engineering work together instead of in isolation.\n\nUnd erstand the operating model. See how the work is meant to run in practice \, not only how it looks in a demo.\n\nTalk to the experts. Put your own operational challenge in front of the people who solve it.\n\nPlan your n ext step. Leave knowing what is possible and which conversation should ha ppen next.\n\nWhat you will leave with:\n\nA clear picture of what is pos sible in your operations\n\nA clear understanding of the operating model behind it\n\nA clear next step\, whether that is a follow-up conversation with our team\, a hands-on Experience Center workshop\, or an OpsCore wo rking session tailored to your operations\n\nWhy this is different:\n\nNo generic AI hype. Every session is grounded in the specifics of regulated operations.\n\nNo vendor pitches. This is a peer-level conversation amon g leaders who share the same operating challenges.\n\nWorking systems\, n ot slide decks. You will see live demonstrations\, not a stack of slides. \n\nReserve your seat: Space is limited to 100 guests. Select Reserve You r Seat to register and join Stellix and WAAI at our Foxborough headquarte rs on October 22. Come ready to talk about the outcome you want. Leave wi th a plan for how to get there\, backed by the people who can help you bu ild it.\n\nPhoto and video notice: By attending\, you acknowledge that ph otos and videos may be taken during the event and used by Stellix and its partners.
