Manufacturing Outlook Roadshow – 2026 Edition

When manufacturers come together, something powerful happens. It’s a space where diverse perspectives drive innovation, where challenges turn into opportunities, and where you realize you’re not navigating this landscape alone.

Be part of our annual Manufacturing Outlook Roadshow, with stops in six locations across Ontario – Windsor, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Brampton, Cobourg, and Kingston

This series delivers the insights and forecasting you need to plan ahead, seize opportunities, and fuel your company’s growth in a rapidly changing economic landscape.

Join us for an in-depth economic outlook led by CME’s Chief Economist, Alan Arcand. Get answers to your most pressing questions, uncover new opportunities, and walk away with strategies to keep your business moving forward.

Don’t miss this chance to connect, strategize, and stay ahead.
