What You’ll Experience

Each event is built around the host manufacturer and a specific manufacturing challenge or topic. Participants can expect:

  • Breakfast and informal networking
  • A focused discussion or presentation
  • A guided look inside the host facility
  • Conversation with the people involved
  • Time for questions and discussion

Why Attend?

This program is designed for manufacturers who want to:

  • See how another company approaches a real challenge
  • Learn from practical examples rather than theory alone
  • Ask questions of people doing the work
  • See processes, technology, or practices in an operating facility
  • Connect with other manufacturers facing similar issues

What to Expect

  • Events are hosted at manufacturing facilities throughout South Central Pennsylvania.
  • Registration is free, but space may be limited.
  • Because events take place inside operating manufacturing facilities, registrations may be reviewed to avoid direct competitive conflicts with the host company.
