The Tri-Association Manufacturing Conference provides interaction, innovation and networking within the eastern Ontario community. The conference is located in the region and is only one day long, meaning you don’t have to spend money on a hotel to attend. In addition, tickets are extremely reasonable at $175/person, which you can easily purchase online.
The day is scheduled to allow for breakout sessions and networking opportunities, as well as guest speakers and plant tours. You can get to know the other major players in eastern Ontario manufacturing, building your network.

Two plant tours are offered as a part of the manufacturing conference as well. The first is at Cameco, which is the largest Canadian supplier of uranium fuel for CANDU nuclear reactors. The second tour is at Graphic Packaging International, one of the largest manufacturers of paperboard and paper-based products.
