Exhibitor Update – 2026 Georgia Manufacturing Summit

The floor is filling up FAST.

Out of 40 exhibitor booths, there are only 21 remaining — and just 4 of those are Support Exhibitor spots.

This event brings together 500+ manufacturing leaders, suppliers, and service providers for one powerful day of learning, connections, and real business growth.

If your company wants direct access to Georgia’s manufacturing decision-makers, now is the time to lock in your booth before the best locations disappear.

As a result of this recognition, more people will read the book and they will be able to reach their goals faster than ever, make a greater impact in their community, and grow their influence.
