Manufacturing’s not what it used to be. Infused with the latest technology, it has been rebranded as advanced manufacturing. And it’s not only highly innovative and constantly changing but it’s also providing all kinds of opportunities in the way of jobs.
On Tuesday, May 21, we’re gathering with five innovators who will help us better understand the new world of advanced manufacturing — and how it will affect you. Join us at Alloy 26, from 8 to 10 am, for this informative and inspiring free event featuring five people who are changing the face of manufacturing in Pittsburgh.
Reserve your seat here to spend the morning with our panelists. Coffee and light breakfast will be available.
