Manufacturing is one of the top issues in the news locally, statewide and nationally and now is the time to expand our imagination of what’s achievable in modern manufacturing. The 2018 State of Manufacturing Tour is for and about Tennessee’s manufacturing workers. Hear updates on the successes and challenges that are facing manufacturers today.

The TMA is partnering with local chambers to host these manufacturing forums.  Manufacturing is critical to our economic growth and the forums will provide updates and discussion regarding important policy topics impacting small, medium and large size manufacturers.  Whether you are a manufacturing site of 10, 100 or 1000 employees, you will find valuable information shared.
