MxD is closely monitoring the news and updates about the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) health crisis, including all notifications and information provided by the Illinois Department of Health (IDPH), the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO).

The health and safety of our MxD staff, members, guests, partners and vendors is our highest priority. We will continue to evaluate and implement measures that best support that priority. We encourage each of you to take the precautions needed to safeguard your and your family’s health.

We understand this is a time of heightened awareness and uncertainty, and so MxD’s upcoming workshop will be a virtual workshop rather than in-person. More information about the webinar and agenda can be found below:

MxD invites you to participate in a Manufacturing Innovation Virtual Workshop on Wednesday, March 25, from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. CT through a virtual webinar. We’ll work together to understand (1) what information small and mid-sized manufacturers are looking for when considering how to implement digital and (2) better understand how MxD can provide help to regional resources across the U.S. that are poised to assist the SMM group (such as MEP Centers).

COST TO ATTEND
