Immerse yourself in three days of manufacturing inspiration at The 2024 MFG Meeting, held April 24-26 in Orlando, Florida, at the Signia Resort by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. The MFG Meeting gathers manufacturing leaders together to learn about the newest industry trends and share their experiences and insights.
Sponsored by AMT - The Association For Manufacturing Technology, the 2024 MFG Meeting is an annual event featuring keynote speakers, panel discussions, and networking opportunities with the top minds in manufacturing.
R. Stephen Flynn, president of Optical Gaging Products is a big fan. Since being promoted into senior management almost four decades ago, he makes it a point to not miss the MFG Meeting.
“Anyone who is serious about manufacturing needs to attend the MFG Meeting,” Flynn says. “Along with IMTS, the MFG Meeting is the most important event on my annual business calendar. It’s where I go to engage with other leaders, participate in the sessions, and absorb industry information that guides me through to the next one.”
Attendees at the 2024 MFG Meeting will leave armed with intel on cutting-edge manufacturing technology, market intelligence, and leadership insights to help make more informed business decisions. In addition, the meeting provides a lot of casual environments and fun activities built into the schedule for more personal conversations that foster long-lasting relationships and encourage learning from their peers.
The biggest value that 2024 MFG Meeting attendees obtain is the networking opportunities and learning from other leaders in the industry. The number one reason attendees return each year is to make new connections, build on existing relationships, and do a little business in a beautiful venue.”
