❇️Friday, March 6, was a great day connecting industry, research, and the future of manufacturing at the AWT and MIT INM Manufacturing Forum.❇️

The conversation brought together leaders from industry and academia to explore manufacturing innovation, technology, and workforce impact, right here in AWT's Transformation Training Center.
Key themes from the discussions included:
🔹 Advancing new manufacturing technologies
🔹 Strengthening the talent pipeline
🔹 Connecting research with real-world manufacturing challenges
🔹 Building stronger regional manufacturing ecosystems

A big thank you to our outstanding panelists for sharing their expertise and perspective:
👏 Matt Schron | Mike Boorstein | Laurie Pogel | Mike Rossi (STERIS) | Matthew Freeman (CRT) | Colin Cutts (G&T Manufacturing) | Kip Marlow | Mark Tennant | Alex Papadopulos | Derek Woods

Students from local high schools enjoyed the manufacturing LEGO activity with MIT INM's John Liu, Zhen Zhao, Amber Brown, Eleni Morales, and Ya'akov Zerykier. 

The forum was another great example of AWT bringing together leaders, students, and educators to share insights and strengthen the future of manufacturing.
