?? Celebrating the Strength of Manufacturing in South Florida ?? Reflecting on the success of our 64th Annual Meeting + Made in South Florida Showcase fills us with immense pride. This event is a testament to the strength, resilience, and innovation of our manufacturing community. Seeing so many brilliant minds come together to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and build meaningful connections reminds us why we are so passionate about our mission. A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Florida Power & Light for their steadfast support throughout the years. FPL is not only a trusted service provider but also a proud manufacturer in Florida. Their dedication to powering homes, businesses, and the growth of manufacturing in our state is truly remarkable. We are grateful for their continued partnership and look forward to many more years of collaboration and success as part of the SFMA family ?? To our incredible speakers — Kevin Carr, Richard Miller, Daniel Gaitan, and Nicole Daggs — thank you for sharing your insights and expertise. Your contributions inspired and empowered attendees, equipping them with valuable knowledge to bring back to their teams. To our manufacturers: You are the foundation of this industry. Whether in aerospace, marine, metals, cosmetics, or any of the many other sectors represented, your innovation and diversity make South Florida a leader in manufacturing. ?? Did You Know? Florida ranks 10th in the nation for manufacturing, with 25,000+ companies, over 426,000 jobs, and an average annual wage of $74,588. South Florida is the state’s largest manufacturing region with 6,800+ locations, over 92,000 employees, and a GDP of $9.33 billion. While these numbers are impressive, they don’t capture the passion and dedication behind them. Every statistic represents hardworking individuals and businesses creating products that serve our communities and make an impact worldwide. Your perseverance, creativity, and pride in craftsmanship truly define our manufacturing community. Supporting you is more than our mission — it’s our greatest honor. Together, we are shaping the future of manufacturing and striving to make Florida the #1 state in the nation. Finally, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to our event committee and volunteers. You are the backbone of our organization. Your passion, dedication, and tireless work ensure the success of every event we host. This event — and every achievement we celebrate — is because of you. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Together, we are building a stronger future for manufacturing in South Florida and beyond.
