Are you a manufacturer looking to expand into the Aerospace or Air Mobility sectors?
Aerospace suppliers throughout the country are experiencing some of the biggest surges ever in growth and revenue. They are also facing higher expectations, challenging their innovation and technology capabilities and straining their ability to retain and attract a talented workforce. In the Midwest, our proximity to Original Equipment Manufacturers, suppliers, Federal labs, research institutes, universities, and workers gives us access to key supply chain opportunities, experts, and testing facilities. However, it also increases competition, relationship-building, and the need for preparation. During this program, attendees will hear how company executives are preparing for new challenges, gain insights to aerospace supplier programs, network with colleagues, and participate in B2B meetings.
