With nine breakout sessions across three focused tracks, the 2026 Ohio Manufacturers’ Energy Conference will give manufacturers and energy professionals practical insight into the issues shaping energy costs, reliability and long-term planning.

Hosted by the Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA) on Thursday, Aug. 27, at the Hilton Columbus Downtown, the conference is Ohio’s most comprehensive energy forum for manufacturers and energy professionals.

“The breakout sessions are built to give manufacturers more than headlines,” said Lindsey Short, OMA managing director of energy and advocacy services. “Attendees will get practical insight into what is changing in Ohio’s energy landscape, what it means for their costs and reliability, and what questions they should be asking inside their own organizations.”

Members are encouraged to bring colleagues to cover more sessions, compare takeaways and make the most of the full agenda. The conference also includes a welcome reception at Stories on High on Wednesday, Aug. 26.

Early Bird registration is now open. OMA members can register for $125, non-members for $250 and government attendees for $99. Register today to secure Early Bird pricing. 6/26/2026
