Manufacturers Summit 2021

The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, as the state’s manufacturing association, will once again host the Minnesota Manufacturers Summit on October 5, 2021. October will feature a month-long salute to Minnesota’s manufacturing community, with events and plant tours across the state. Join leading manufacturers and business leaders at this year’s event where we dig into the issues and opportunities facing this key sector of our economy. We’ll explore strategies to attract and retain manufacturing workers. We’ll assess the impact of the pandemic on manufacturing supply chains, and provide strategies for firms to mitigate future risks, streamline operations and minimize potential vulnerabilities. This is a great opportunity to hear from some of the state manufacturing leaders, and connect with manufacturing companies.
