Don’t Miss the MI’s Annual Workforce Summit
Over the past four years, the Manufacturing Institute’s Workforce Summit has brought together manufacturing leaders, practitioners and experts to explore solutions to the industry’s toughest workforce challenges. Now in its fifth year, the annual summit hosted by the MI, the NAM’s workforce development and education affiliate, promises to help manufacturers capitalize on past successes and navigate new developments, like the fast-moving adoption of AI.
What’s going on: This year’s summit, titled “Skills at Scale: Delivering America’s Competitive Advantage,” will be held Oct. 26–28 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
- Attendees will participate in sessions and interactive workshops that focus on talent pipeline development, onboarding, skills-focused training, engagement and retention, knowledge transfer, AI skills and so much more. Learn more about the sessions here.
Why attend: Ninety-two percent of past attendees rated the Workforce Summit as excellent, according to MI surveys. Attendees appreciated the opportunities to connect with peers and experts, learn best practices and brainstorm new solutions.
- “The roundtable discussions were a highlight. Honest, practical conversations about real issues employers are dealing with today,” said one manufacturer after attending a previous summit.
- “This event was incredible. It was eye-opening to realize we are not alone in the challenges we face. Hearing how others are finding success gave me new ideas and motivation,” echoed a workforce partner.
