WHY MANUFACTURING FIRST...
MISSION OF MANUFACTURING FIRST
CONFERENCE MANAGEMENT TEAM
RECOGNIZING THE NEED
People who are passionate about manufacturing in Wisconsin needed a place to gather, network, and cooperate. Our event brings together the brightest
stars of Northeast Wisconsin's manufacturing sector and provides a place and platform to strengthen our innovative spirit, learn from one another, and set
forth on a path of continued growth and success.
HIGHLIGHT MANUFACTURING IN WISCONSIN
One in four Northeast Wisconsin residents is employed in the manufacturing sector. It is the backbone of our regional economy and therefore our duty to
nurture its development.
DEVELOP OUR WORKFORCE
We seek to harness the passion of the manufacturing sector to help bridge the skills gap and enhance the image of manufacturing in our region.
