#WBJManufacturing

Worcester Business Journal is excited to produce our fourth annual Manufacturing Summit where we’ll tap a panel of experts to dig into top issues affecting manufacturers in our region. In addition, we’ll recognize some of the area’s top manufacturing firms with our annual Central Mass “Manufacturing Excellence Awards” ceremony and networking reception.

Winners will be announced in our April 1st edition.

2019 Summit Theme: Finding ways to grow in the face of the manufacturing workforce challenge:

Low unemployment, a horde of retiring baby boomers and demographic shifts in the workforce have all conspired to make it difficult for manufacturers to fill open positions. While this structural challenge is not unique to manufacturing and has been around for some time, companies around the state have been finding creative solutions to being more productive and finding ways to grow. We’ll explore some of the creative solutions that have been implemented and how they are working.

Don’t miss this special event and the opportunity to network with industry leaders, and celebrate the 2019 Central Mass “Manufacturing Excellence Award” honorees – register today!

Stay tuned – additional speaker line-up coming soon!
