MFG Virtual Meeting Series: Preparing for MFG Day
National MFG Day is always the first Friday in October - manufacturers should be considering or planning now for what they want to do on October 7. Those "outside" of the industry or support and collaborate with manufacturers are also encouraged to celebrate with us.
This session encourages thinking on what organizations can do to shed light on the manufacturing industry. It can be as simple as a social media post, a career highlight promotion, a tour, a school presentation, or a partnership with a community entity.
Our second annual run of MFG Virtual Meeting Series, these brief meetings are geared toward decision-makers in the manufacturing industry. These are opportunities to stay abreast of state trends or resources and share best practices. Subject matter experts will provide industry insight with a moderated question and answer session following presentations.
