Thursday, October 16 at 11 am -3 pm ET via Zoom – The culmination of our manufacturing summer series, the Appalachian Manufacturing Action Plan Summit will be a chance to discuss the future of manufacturing in our region and the path to get there. The three hour event will include a variety of sessions to choose from on a range of topics and a larger conversation based around the creation of ReImagine Appalachia’s new Manufacturing Action Plan.
Interwoven with large group presentations, the Summit will include a variety of break out sessions based around a range of subjects that attendees may choose to join.
This event is part of our Summer 2025 Manufacturing Series, an ongoing series of events sharing new research on opportunities within Appalachia’s manufacturing sector, from growing feedstocks to producing final products. This series of listening sessions will explore the specific opportunities to leverage the region’s historical assets for the new energy economy and create a hub for sustainable manufacturing. Appalachians should have a say in the work to keep opportunities in the region and support the creation of a 21st century economy that’s good for workers, communities, and the environment.
