Valley Made. Future Built.
Yesterday’s 11th Annual Valley Made Manufacturing Summit brought together local manufacturers, educators and future workforce, with nearly 1,000 registered, including more than 300 students...the largest of it’s kind in our region!
From conversations on AI and workforce readiness with Lauren Dunford, Carlo Salerno and moderator Paul Fain to hands-on demonstrations in the Workforce Connection Demo Zone, the day explored what’s next for Valley manufacturing.
Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and attendees for helping build that future together.
