Mark your calendars for the eighth annual Ohio Manufacturers’ Workforce Summit on Thursday, November 6, at the Hilton Columbus Downtown. This premier event brings together manufacturers, educators, and workforce leaders to explore solutions to Ohio’s talent challenges.

With the theme “Forging the Future: Building Talent Pipelines for Manufacturing Success,” the Summit will spotlight collaborative, employer-led strategies driving workforce development across the state.

To help shape this year’s agenda, OMA invites manufacturers to submit proposals for breakout sessions. This is your chance to showcase strategies, best practices, and innovative workforce solutions that are making an impact. Each session will be 75 minutes, concluding with audience Q&A.

Submit your proposal by May 23, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST. A review committee will evaluate all qualified proposals, with selected presenters notified by June 27. Please reach out to Mary Voigt with any questions. 4/22/2025
