It’s Official — The 2025 Connecticut Manufacturing Innovation Forum Is Coming This September!
Mark your calendars: the 2025 Connecticut Manufacturing Innovation Forum will take place on Thursday, September 11th, from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM at the Connecticut Convention Center.
This premier event is built for Connecticut’s advanced manufacturing community and will feature a full day of programming focused on cutting-edge innovation in technology, supply chain strategy, talent development, sustainability, and financial growth.
Following the overwhelming success of the 2024 event—formerly known as the CT Manufacturing Summit—a collaborative planning committee has reconvened to raise the bar for 2025. Committee members represent key organizations including the Connecticut Office of Manufacturing (OOM), American Manufacturing Hall of Fame (AMHoF), Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT), CONNSTEP, ReadyCT, and the Small Business Association (SBA).
The forum is presented by the Connecticut Manufacturing Innovation Fund (MIF), an initiative of the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) designed to fuel innovation and advancement across the state’s manufacturing sector.
Hosted by Connecticut’s Chief Manufacturing Officer, Paul Lavoie, the event will feature inspiring keynote speakers, expert panel discussions, and valuable opportunities for connection and collaboration across the industry.
As Chair of the American Manufacturing Hall of Fame, Rich DuPont, Founder & CEO of Resource Development Associates (RDA), has proudly served on the planning committee for the previous 2024 event, and on the new committee for this year's event. He will also serve as a Moderator at this year’s forum, leading important conversations around sustainability in manufacturing—a critical area of focus for the future of the industry.
