TRAVERSE CITY – Manufacturing Night is the focus of the next TC (Traverse City) New Tech meeting on Nov. 1 when manufacturing and technology professionals from across Northwest Michigan will showcase their products and start-ups.
The November meet-up is presented in collaboration with the Grand Traverse Area Manufacturing Council, will highlight tech trends in the region’s thriving manufacturing industry. Speakers will each be given five minutes to pitch, followed by an additional five minutes to field questions.
Additional presenters will also touch on:
The diversity, depth and economic impact of the region’s manufacturing sector
Why today’s manufacturer has to have a software culture
Digital Manufacturing
An update on Northwestern Michigan College’s $15 million Innovation Center
“Manufacturing Night is a great opportunity to stimulate dialogue between the tech and manufacturing sectors to spark collaboration and innovation,” says Corey Geer, GTAMC Chair. “These sectors provide the high wage jobs we all seek to help strengthen our local economy.”
TC New Tech attendance has seen a steady rise since its inception in June 2015 and the November event hopes to double the group’s average 100-person turnout.
The event will also be live-streamed via the TC New Tech Facebook page. Lead sponsor for the event is ANSYS, Inc., a simulation software company, with the networking hour sponsored by the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center, located at NMC. The networking hour will immediately follow presentations at Ecco.
