With Northeast Wisconsin an "epicenter" of manufacturing,
Manufacturing First has rapidly become known as one of
the state's premier events for business and industry since its
launch in 2011. More than 1,200 attendees and 500 students
gather at the KI Center in Green Bay for what has grown into
a two-day event. With the NEW Manufacturing Alliance and
First Business Bank, Insight is a co-sponsor and coordinator for
Manufacturing First.
Day one begins with program sessions in the afternoon
and a cocktail reception. The NEWMA Excellence in Mfg/K-12
Partnership Awards dinner takes place in the evening. (The
NEWMA dinner is a separate paid event.)
Day two is the main event! A high-energy keynote speaker
kicks off the day at 8 a.m. The rest of the day takes place in
the expo hall. Nearly 200 exhibitors highlight their products
and services. Manufacturers showcase new products while
interactive booths and lunch-and-learn sessions provide
additional education and innovation ideas. The day ends with
power networking at the cocktail reception.
More than 1,800 students have attended this event since
2011 and met with manufacturers regarding careers in
the industry. This event has created more than $40,000 in
scholarships for students and a renewed awareness about
careers in manufacturing.
There are many levels of sponsorships available and exhibit
booth space always sells out. Please contact your sales rep early
to secure one of these brand-building opportunities.
