The objective of our Manufacturing Connection Groups is to provide connection opportunities for those working in the various manufacturing roles and to provide a platform for networking, to share information, ideas and best practices. To bring real value to this initiative, each Group will consist of 10-12 participants from different manufacturers within a given region.

Connection Groups meet on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Members of a Manufacturing Connection Group gain access to an online forum to ask questions and share information with all members within the same Group. With the goal of connection driving our vision, there is no cost to be a participant.

Requirements: Members of a Manufacturing Connection Group must be working at a manufacturing company to join and retain membership.
