Spanish term or phrase: abierto a la industria con resultados concretos
* Talleres especializados, charlas abiertas al público, workshop y un seminario final abierto a la industria con resultados concretos, componen este encuentro sin precedentes en Chile ni Sudamérica.

(ENTIENDO QUE "WORKSHOP" ES UN ERROR DEL ORIGINAL)

* The meeting, unprecedented in South America, features specialized workshops, conferences open to the public, and a closing seminar open to the industry, with concrete results.

OR: AND A CLOSING SEMINAR WITH CONCRETE RESULTS, OPEN TO THE INDUSTRY?

THE ORIGINAL IS AS MESSY AS I USUALLY GET THEM...

TIA!

Explanation:
Me gusta más la segunda opción, por aquello que "the modifier should be as close to the word it modifies as possible." "Concrete results" and "open to the industry" both modify seminar, but if you place "concrete results" next to industry, it appears to modify it instead of seminar.
Espero que te sirva la explicación y disculpa por el Spanglish.
