In 2022, nearly 250 executives, government relations professionals, influencers, leaders and manufacturing decision makers from across Canada participated in CME’s annual conference. This year, we will welcome this same audience in person!
This national event is one of Canada’s largest cross-sectoral assembly of manufacturing industry leaders and executives, who will come together to create connections, build relationships, share perspectives, and learn from one another. The conference provides a venue to share knowledge, leveraging CME’s clear position as the voice of manufacturing, and advance the industry as a whole.
