Engineering, Research & Development Council
Join chief engineers and VPs of R&D from mid- to large-cap global manufacturing companies to share best practices, benchmark, and network with peers.
“While Manufacturers Alliance offers multiple engagement opportunities, I believe that the in-person council meetings are the most useful. During the meetings, we hear from industry experts, share informative presentations, and participate in interactive workshops. However, it is often the dinner conversations and the informal follow-up discussions that prove to be the most fruitful. These casual interactions allow us to delve deeper into the topics discussed, share our own experiences, and build lasting relationships with our peers.”
— Nathan Hemmer , Senior Corporate Director, Fortive Corporation
