This event is built for Arkansas manufacturing leaders, as well as vendors and suppliers of equipment, materials, and services that support the manufacturing ecosystem. If you make, move, or improve products in Arkansas, this event is for you.


What to Expect:

Exhibitor Booths: Open the afternoon of Oct. 1 and all day Oct. 2, this is your chance to show off the products, tools, and solutions that keep Arkansas manufacturing running strong. All booths include two registrations.

Pre-Conference Workshop (Oct. 1, afternoon): LeanWorks: Lean In Action Get ready to roll up your sleeves in this hands-on Lean Lab experience! This workshop blends energy, strategy, and problem-solving as you journey through the fundamentals of lean thinking:

*Kick things off with the classic Supply Chain Beer Game, where chaos and collaboration collide

*Build understanding with a quick, engaging intro to Lean principles

*Get hands-on with TWI basics using the Fire Underwriter’s Knot

*Wrap up with Toyota Kata-style problem-solving in the Classroom Puzzle Challenge

This experience is fast-paced, practical, and team-driven—perfect for both beginners and experienced leaders looking to refresh their lean mindset.

Conference Day (Oct. 2): A full day of expert panels, breakout sessions, and peer learning focused on workforce development, technology trends, and supply chain resilience.

Fireside Chat & Happy Hour (Oct. 1, evening): Automation Without Alienation: how to introduce new tech without losing your people. Manufacturing peers discussing smart automation while keeping people-first and discussing success and learnings from implementing automation.
