SPONSOR WELCOMES

The 2018 SC Manufacturing Conference and Expo is shaping up to be, in a word, HUGE! Since its inception in 2015, we’ve referred to this conference as the most significant manufacturing event in South Carolina, maybe even in the Southeast. And this year’s conference will certainly do nothing to damage that designation.

We are proud to partner with our colleagues at SCMEP — the South Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership — to produce our 3rd manufacturing conference.

And this time, it will be bigger than ever. There’s only one venue in the state large enough to handle this year’s conference — the TD Convention Center in Greenville. Our show will occupy more than four football fields of space in the center’s largest exhibit hall, so bring your walking shoes.

We challenged ourselves to provide attendees with more to do and see than ever before.

We succeeded. Attendees will be able to attend more than a dozen workshops. The Workforce Development Breakfast will open the conference. And the panel discussion, Exceptional Executives: Women Who are Leading the Way, will be one of the highlights on the second day.

In addition, 250 exhibitors — making up the manufacturing supply chain — will come from all parts of the country to see what all the fuss is about. And purchasing executives from 16 of the state’s key OEMs will be on hand to meet individually with those exhibitors as part of the conference’s B2B Matchmaking event.

Throw in our anchor event, Wednesday’s Salute to Manufacturing Awards Luncheon, and a keynote by the governor, and you have more business-to-business and networking opportunities than you could possibly tackle in two days.

We anticipate more than 2,500 attendees. I hope you’ll be one of them. And while there, I hope you find something to inspire you as you immerse yourself in the trends and topics that power today’s vibrant manufacturing culture. Should be fun!

Rick Jenkins Conference director, Publisher, GSA Business Report

The South Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership is delighted to partner with SC Biz News and the GSA Business Report to host the 2018 Manufacturing Conference and Expo.

For thirty years, SCMEP has been dedicated to helping South Carolina manufacturing companies grow. In fiscal year 2018, in addition to impacting South Carolina by over $2 billion in 2017, SCMEP worked with 508 unique companies, completed 695 projects and held 131 workshops. As one of South Carolina’s largest industries, we are excited to bring together industry professionals, manufacturers and government officials to connect, share and bring about discussion surrounding the manufacturing community. As the expo approaches, please take a moment to review the 30+ speakers and numerous breakout sessions lead by subject matter experts. From Toyota Kata Practitioner Day, to Cyber Security in Manufacturing, to Training Within Industry, there is sure to be something to pique everyone’s interest. We look forward to seeing many familiar faces as well as meeting new ones. Hope to see you there!
