Another Successful Conference!

On Oct 24th, over 170 manufacturing guests joined the NMA, KMA and QMA for a full day of learning, sharing and interaction. The annual Tri-Association Manufacturing Conference is a signature event for our associations and members. This year the agenda included plant tours, TechZone and the hot topic of cyber security.

“It was an incredible day” stated one guest. There was always a buzz in the air – the keynote speakers, the plant tours, the techzone – it was all very relevant to our industry – I couldn’t wait to learn more!

The conference planning committee would like to thank all our sponsors for their support and dedication to our industry and people. We couldn’t have done it all without you.

A special thank you to Northumberland County – our title sponsor, who raised the bar this year with your sponsorship and commitment.

We look forward to seeing everyone next year – SAVE THE DATE! October 22, 2020!

Congratulations to this year’s Manufacturing Excellence Award Recipients!
