Celebrate MFG

Join us for our 4th annual Celebrate MFG event on Thursday, Oct 8th as we wrap up National Manufacturing Week. Enjoy an evening of connection, inspiration, and networking with fellow manufacturers, key stakeholders, and industry leaders driving innovation in the South Bay and San José’s manufacturing ecosystem.

First, we're celebrating the unique manufacturing ecosystem that the South Bay has to offer. A lively PechaKucha (a rapid fire visual presentation) will feature manufacturers across all industries- advanced manufacturing, food & beverage, etc. - and will conclude with a Q&A session.
