OSWEGO, N.Y. — It’s an event designed to strengthen and elevate Oswego County’s manufacturing ecosystem by connecting business leaders with resources, innovative programs, and collaborative opportunities that will “drive growth and sustainability for years to come.”
That’s according to Operation Oswego County in an announcement about the upcoming event called The Summit: Oswego County Manufacturing 2025.
It’s scheduled for Oct. 15 from 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. in the event center at the Fulton campus of Cayuga Community College.
Individuals, employers, and companies interested in participating can register online at https://bit.ly/2025TheSummit. Or they can contact Alexandra Fitzpatrick, marketing & communications manager, at the OOC.
The Summit is designed to boost the county’s manufacturing environment by linking business leaders with resources, programs, and the chance to network/collaborate. With a targeted audience of manufacturing business owners and operations leaders, the event is expected to draw more than 75 participants from across the region.
“There are many new and expanding programs at the local, state and federal levels to support the growth and retention of manufacturing businesses,” Austin Wheelock, executive director of Operation Oswego County, said in the announcement. “We want to make sure our manufacturers, large and small, are aware of all the resources that exist and have the technical support to seek these opportunities, which was the catalyst for creating The Summit.”
The 2025 program will include educational sessions and panel discussions covering a range of issues central to manufacturing success. Topics will include financial benefits and incentives available to manufacturers; workforce support and training opportunities; employee-benefit solutions; and tariff and export logistics.
Joe Nehme, senior manager of external affairs at Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) will deliver the keynote address. Nehme will discuss the opportunities for manufacturers in relation to Micron’s investment in Central New York and what the development means for the broader regional supply chain.
His insights are expected to provide valuable context on how local manufacturers can position themselves to benefit from “one of the most significant technology investments in U.S. history,” Operation Oswego County said.
