2021 MFG Summit & Career Fair

2021 MFG Summit & Career Fair


THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. 

Join us for our region's premier, annual manufacturing summit held during the nationally-recognized MFG Month! The Greater Berks County region celebrates manufacturing as our highest-priority industry, and shares a dedication to the industry's success with all of our neighboring partners, training providers, and employers in ten surrounding counties. Be a part of this can't-miss event! Attendees will then enjoy a half-day agenda packed with an expert panel, a workshop with takeaway items, and the opportunity to stay for a manufacturing-focused job fair!
