Lean TWI Summit'26.

June 9-10, 2026 | Wrocław, Poland

Although the Lean TWI Summit is held primarily in Polish, Day 2 will feature a dedicated English-language livestream, including keynote sessions from international leaders such as Rami Goldratt and Tilo Schwartz.

On June 9–10, 2026, we’re returning to Wrocław for the third edition of the Lean TWI Summit – an event that brings together people from manufacturing, services, and HR, focused on employee development, process improvement, and the use of AI in their daily work. In 2025, we had almost 500 participants. In 2026, we’re aiming for over 650 participants. And once again, we’re focused on specifics. The Lean TWI Conference is:

No formal breaks – coffee, lunch, and networking are happening all the time.
No sales from the main stage.
Several parallel streams for manufacturing and services – you choose what truly interests you.
Evening afterparty in the culture zone – bar, terrace, and a relaxed atmosphere after a long day.
The best companies and top speakers.
English-language presentations and workshops.

The Lean TWI Conference is not just about Lean Management, Training Within Industry, leadership, and artificial intelligence – it’s a meeting of people who want to develop, share experiences, and return to the company with renewed energy!

In 2026, we want to combine the TOC and Toyota Kata mindset with the principles of Lean Management and TWI. All of this with the understanding that people are paramount. We want to build this event around our Six Higher Powers:

Prospection – the ability to anticipate and prepare for change before it occurs.
Resilience – the organization’s resistance to uncertainty.
Innovation – continuous improvement.
Building Relationships – strong relationships are the foundation of effective leadership.
Making Meaning – talents thrive through meaningful work.
Human & AI Integration – we connect people with technology that supports, not replaces.

A special event exclusively for Lean TWI Summit participants to prepare for the conference

Lean Supervisor, Corning

"The Lean TWISummit was an event from which each of us—and there were 19 of us—came away with a different perspective on the role of leadership, onboarding, standardization, and people development. We were most impressed by General Roman Polko's presentation—powerful, authentic, and to the point—as well as the workshops on the Toyota Production System, TWI, and AI in processes. An inspiring, well-organized conference that connects practice with the future of industry and leadership."

Beata Wyspiańska

General Director of SFC Solutions Poland

"LeanTWISummit is an event that combines theory with practice. My team of managers and I returned with specific tools and renewed energy to implement changes aimed at optimizing our financial results. We particularly remember General Roman Polko's inspiring lecture on leadership in action – with a large dose of practical knowledge on how to be a responsible and effective leader. It was a large-scale event, and I eagerly await the next one."

"The 2ndLeanTWI Summit (June 10–11, 2025, Wrocław) is a unique combination of practical knowledge in Lean, TWI, and AI. Case studies from Amazon, Toyota, ING, and Bosch, workshops, and a Lean simulation provided a comprehensive picture of how to actually implement this approach. I recommend it to anyone who wants to develop a culture of continuous improvement in their organization."
