By The Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce

– Due in large part to an ample supply of low-cost natural gas, Greater Philadelphia’s manufacturing sector is growing, generating some $50 billion in sales and supporting more than 65,000 jobs in the chemical, defense, food, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Join us as we explore the future of manufacturing in the Greater Philadelphia region on the heels of the much-anticipated report from the Manufacturing Task Force due this fall. This program will feature Councilman Bobby Henon, Co-chair of the Task Force, who will explore next steps for the city and region, followed by a panel discussion.

Panelists include:
William Hunt
CEO, AgustaWestland Philadelphia

Kevin Patrick
VP of Research & Corporate Development, South Jersey Industries

Jeff Warmann
CEO, Monroe Energy
