2021 Sponsorship & Exhibitor Opportunities

Wednesday, October 13, 2021

The Manufacturer & Business Association’s 8th Annual MFG DAY is back, bigger and better than ever! This year, we are excited to be at the Bayfront Convention Center (BCC) where more than 2,000 students, teachers administrators, business and community leaders will be joining us in person and virtually for what we anticipate will be the largest audience of “future manufacturers” attending to date!

• Change the perception of modern manufacturing careers.

• Reaffirm the United States as a leader in manufacturing education.

• Reinforce a higher level of technical job skills training to strengthen America’s workforce.

Our mission to inspire, engage and attract the next generation of manufacturers needs your support! Please consider joining our efforts by becoming a 2021 MFG DAY SPONSOR!

TWO BIG EVENTS . . . ONE BIG CELEBRATION!

MBA MFG DAY: Our 8th annual celebration runs from 8 a.m. to noon at the Bayfront Convention Center (BCC), where more than 2,000 students, counselors and educators will have the chance to see, meet and experience today’s modern, high-tech manufacturers from around the region and learn about the high-paying careers that are available.

MBA ANNUAL EVENT: At 5 p.m. that evening, you’ll join the MBA in welcoming up to 1,000 business leaders, who will be attending our 116th Annual Event Cocktail Reception inside the BCC Exhibit Hall. This is an exceptional opportunity for MFG DAY SPONSORS to introduce their companies and showcase their innovative products and services to this influential audience before the 7 p.m. keynote address by Retired Four-Star U.S. Navy Admiral William McRaven.

HELP US BUILD the MFG WORKFORCE of the FUTURE!

More Sponsor Packages! This year, we’re excited to offer even more sponsor packages – including (2) new GAME sponsorships – that MFG Day students will love and so will you (especially with all the “traffic” it will draw to your exhibit booth)! Better yet, we’ve added more perks to every package, bringing more sponsor value! Don’t wait, because packages go quickly every year!
