Manufacturing Operations Roundtables
The Connecticut Manufacturing Coalition has organized a Manufacturing Operations Roundtable, held on the second Thursday of each month, providing opportunities for manufacturers to network and share best practices on topics important to the operations within their organizations. Share successes, find new solutions and meet others facing the same obstacles that you do on a daily basis.
The roundtables will balance a mix of plant tours, open group-directed conversations and guest speakers. Locations of the roundtables have been determined by the group to allow equal access for manufacturers across the state.
If you are involved with manufacturing operations, take this opportunity to network with your peers, share your experiences with others and receive feedback on your challenges.
