About this event

National Manufacturing Day has always been an important way for NEPIRC to spread the word about the benefits that manufacturing provides to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As a proud supporter of National Manufacturing Day, NEPIRC is excited to promote awareness of manufacturing, the career opportunities that are available and the advanced technologies that are driving the industry. How do we achieve this, you ask? By hosting the state’s largest and most impactful summit and networking event each year – NEPIRC’s Manufacturing Day (MFG DAY) Best Practices Sumit & Expo!
Be part of MFG DAY on Friday, October 3, 2025. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with hundreds of manufacturers and industry professionals for a day of collaboration and celebration. NEPIRC’s annual MFG DAY Best Practices Summit & Expo aims to empower manufacturers, change public perception about the industry, highlight its economic impact and introduce more people to available career opportunities.
Who Should Attend MFG DAY? Manufacturing executives and decision makers; non-manufacturers who provide a service or product that benefits the manufacturing industry; economic development organizations; high school and college students; colleges/universities; manufacturing advocates and enthusiasts; government officials; technology, robotics and AI companies; Northeastern Pennsylvania champions; and anyone who would like to learn more about the manufacturing industry or is considering a manufacturing career.
What Does MFG DAY Entail? MFG DAY offers attendees the opportunity to participate in educational breakout sessions; hear from nationally acclaimed speakers; meet and network with manufacturing and non-manufacturing decision makers, buyers and business owners; interact with PA-made products; see the great technological advancements in the industry; celebrate the many achievements of our manufacturing sector; and more.
