Share Your Manufacturing Day Story

Sept. 20, 2016

You're invited to contribute to our "Manufacturing Month" coverage. Here's how.

When the entire nation celebrates Manufacturing Day on Oct. 7, 2016, IndustryWeek and the Internet of Things Institute (IoTi) will help spread the word—and you’re invited to contribute to our extensive coverage.

Indeed, we’re going a step further, planning extensive coverage of the State of Manufacturing throughout the month of October, aka “Manufacturing Month,” in addition to sharing reports of the Day’s events.

Here’s how you can participate:
