The Inland Empire Manufacturing Roadshow returns in Summer 2026 to connect manufacturers directly with the resources they need to grow, compete, and thrive. Manufacturers shouldn’t have to navigate 80+ disconnected programs to find the support they need.

The Inland Empire Manufacturing Roadshow 2026 is designed to eliminate that fragmentation by bringing the region’s most valuable resources—capital, workforce, technology, and advisory—into one place, at one time.

Instead of chasing solutions, this is where solutions come to you.

Building on last year’s event with 150+ attendees, we are expanding outreach to 1,100+ manufacturers across the Inland Empire, creating one of the region’s most concentrated opportunities for connection, collaboration, and growth.

When: September, 2026
Where: Location to be announced.
