Join fellow manufacturers from across Lake County for a focused, high-value event designed to surface what’s actually working right now in our industry. With more than 1,300 manufacturers in the region, this is an opportunity to learn from one another, discover useful resources and make meaningful connections.

  • Real-world leadership insights: Hear from Colin Cosgrove, CEO & President of Laystrom Manufacturing Company, as he shares lessons from leading a 75-year-old family business, offering practical, experience-based examples you can apply within your own organization.
  • A direct connection to resources: Walk away with one key contact—the person you can email to access a curated set of tools, programs and partnerships—along with a clearer understanding of the full scope of resources available to support your business.
  • Peer connection and idea-sharing: Build relationships with others in manufacturing, exchange ideas and learn directly from peers facing similar challenges and opportunities.

Whether you’re in operations, HR, leadership or the shop floor, this event is designed for anyone working in manufacturing who wants to learn what’s working and how to apply it in their own organization.
