JOIN US IN THE MAKING IT TOGETHER ALLIANCE.

The strength of the global economy is contingent upon the vitality of the American manufacturer. Manufacturers of all shapes and sizes need to reinvent themselves and evaluate their markets. To help aid this process, Start magazine, in cooperation with other industry leaders and government figures will host their second Manufacturing and Economic Recovery Conference (MERC) this September in Chicago.

This event will develop a roadmap to survival in this tough economic climate and address how to overcome competitive hurdles, which will help manufacturers become more viable and profitable. The 3-day conference will consist of keynotes from industry experts, an awards ceremony, and plant tours around the Chicagoland area, among other things.

As part of our efforts to help you network and meet other manufacturers, Start magazine, with the help of others, has created the Making It Together Alliance. This Alliance is designed to help hard working individuals discover new ways of networking in the hopes if exchanging new and creative ideas that will spark change. With your participation, together we can dramatically alter the manufacturing landscape creating a stronger and safer tomorrow.

Now is the perfect time to join forces to forge even greater pathways to competitiveness and demonstrate THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS! Click here to discover how you can become part of one of the largest initiatives ever created to unite the manufacturing community. So, take the time now to join the Making It Together Alliance.
