Since 2006, the Evolution of Manufacturing Conference & Awards honor Northeast Ohio manufacturers for their ability to innovate, create and drive these processes resulting in a positive impact on their bottom line. In addition, the conference portion of the event provides an excellent networking opportunity for manufacturers and local service providers.

Learn how successful manufacturers acquire and keep top talent, employ effective training programs, incorporate next generation manufacturing practices, and find innovative ways to compete in a global economy.

The Evolution of Manufacturing Conference & Awards currently takes place in Cleveland.

Any business engaged in the manufacturing industry within the Northern Ohio region is eligible for an Evolution of Manufacturing award. Consultants and nonprofit organizations are not eligible.
