It really started with a $40-a-month website in Joe’s second bedroom, a dream and an unstoppable will to succeed.
The first FMA summit was the Future of Manufacturing Summit, at the Hyatt Regency in Montreal, August 5–7, 2007. In the room: the U.S. Department of Energy, the EPA, Natural Resources Canada, GM, Caterpillar, IBM, Boeing, Alcoa, Subaru and Michelin.
34 more summits followed. The printed programs name every sponsor and every speaker.
1,470plant leaders from 495 manufacturers have come to past FMA summits.473 of them own the budget or sign off.
721facility leaders from 354 hospitals, universities, government sites, cities and building owners have come to past FMA summits.

Each one solving a different problem for the people in the room. FMA will not sell more than 20 sponsorships at a summit.
Plant leaders ask to meet you. We seat the ones who asked at your table.
Vendors attend only as sponsors. A vendor that has not sponsored cannot register or attend.
