Evansville Region Manufacturing Summit Recap!
Yesterday, the Tri-State Manufacturers' Alliance (TSMA), hosted by E-REP, held its inaugural Evansville Region Manufacturing Summit, bringing together over 300 manufacturing professionals from across the region. The summit provided a dynamic platform for education, collaboration, and networking, all focused on advancing the manufacturing sector.
Attendees were inspired by keynote speaker Rich Sheridan, CEO of Menlo Innovations, who shared actionable insights on fostering a culture that embraces change, takes action, and encourages learning. Travis Daugherty, CEO of Champions 101, motivated participants with his powerful message on how to "show up to win" in the workplace every day.
During the interactive Power Hour, Menlo Innovations guided attendees on how to help their teams soar to new heights.
The day featured 10 breakout sessions on critical topics, including leadership development, lean culture implementation, sustainability strategies, cybersecurity, financial planning, machine reliability, workforce development, and strategic leadership integration.
Local manufacturing leaders led these sessions, providing participants with valuable strategies to drive success in their organizations.
Attendees also explored the State of Manufacturing in Indiana, presented by Conexus Indiana and E-REP, and connected with 10 vendors dedicated to supporting the growth of our regional manufacturers.
