We will be back at The Point for our 2026 Annual Summit and Gubernatorial Forum. This event will bring together industry leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing Maine manufacturing. This year’s Summit will feature two panel discussions, and conclude with our first Gubernatorial Forum. MAME’s Employee Growth Service Committee will have a workforce development presence on the floor, so you will be able to engage with them directly. We also have a very strong lineup of exhibitors to help with your business performance needs.
