The heart and soul of the Manufacturing Makes It Real Network are the celebrations.
There will be seven celebrations, one per year in each of the state's economic development regions. These events will be a gathering of Network members, local manufacturers, regional economic, community, and political leaders, and the press at a host manufacturing plant. Everyone will have an opportunity to network, as well as to discuss their products, their people, and their business concerns.
These events will provide connections among manufacturers to build supply chains or find new customers, and manufacturers will have the opportunity to present what they make.
Each celebration will include a tour of the host plant.
The events run from March - November. Please RSVP for the events you plan to attend.
Other Events for 2012 will be posted when the dates are confirmed. Please check back soon.
