"There is nothing inevitable about the decline of American manufacturing. The path to renewal is through innovation. We cannot win the battle to be the lowest-cost producer, but we can win by designing and manufacturing the cutting-edge, high-tech, precision products of the future."

- Chris Trimble, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth

Why Attend Amiccon 2010?

AMICCON Conference

WE HEARD YOU.

A primary mission of AMICCON is to secure as many relevant OEMs, government contractors and procurement professionals as possible for you to meet on November 16, 2010 at this advanced manufacturing conference. AMICCON has very specific and current contact lists of these targets and is sending personal invitations to them all to join us this Fall. AMICCON is also heavily marketing this event by various means and media in order to insure maximum attendance by OEMs and buyers.

No interruptions – 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM is pure manufacturer-to-manufacturer time. Professional Service Providers know how important this time is for you and have graciously agreed to wait to join this event after 2PM.

AMICCON has also reserved large, furnished meeting rooms at the MassMutual Center for the September conference for private conversation with new contacts made that day with our guests. These rooms are broken out as follow:

  • OEM and General Procurement Room
  • Government Contractors Room
  • The “Green” Room for Clean Technology
  • CEO & Sponsor Lounge

AMICCON is also making quick meals available for attendees to purchase throughout the day at the MassMutual Center so that you won’t have to leave the venue. A networking area with tables and seating in the main Exhibition Hall is also being provided by AMICCON for productive conversation.

More power networking will be provided when all participants are invited to attend the 4:30 PM AMICCON cocktail reception. The exhibition hall will remain open during this time and the event will draw to a close at 6:00 PM.

Ultimately:

It is the mission of AMICCON to help make western New England the Hub for advanced manufacturing in the United States with its specialties in exotic, nano, micro, and short run production and processes.
