The 2015 Manufacturing Summit is the latest of several important collaborative industry meetings attended by Gary Bruce. Other key events attended by Bruce and other PartnerTech executives are Select USA Summit and the TechAmerica DC Fly-Incoordinated by the Technology Association of Georgia. Each of these events work to inform industry leaders on key legislation being considered in Washington and provide an important opportunity to speak directly with representatives about challenges to the industry within the states they represent.

“Connecting with legislators and gaining detailed information on current policy issues is important in making informed decisions. And the value of gathering industry professionals with a collective voice is significant in helping to shape policies that actually work to increase growth in manufacturing. Reshoring in today’s economy is different than decades ago and new policies are needed to support this movement”, states Gary Bruce.

NAM's 2016 Summit will be held in DC on June 7th -8th.
