ISO 9001:2026 is here. Your next big buyer already knows it.

Join NWLA APEX, the Manufacturing Managers Council of Northwest Louisiana (MMC), and QMS2GO for a practical, operator-focused session timed with National APEX Day. ISO 9001:2026 is published. Primes and large buyers are already updating how they screen suppliers. This lunch workshop shows manufacturing operators what changed, what buyers will ask for next, and how to get bid-ready without drowning in paperwork.

What we cover

• What is new in ISO 9001:2026 and why buyers care now
• How primes and DoD-adjacent supply chains screen for quality systems
• A clear path from "we have a shop" to "we can win the bid"
• Practical next steps you can take this quarter (not a multi-year theory talk)

Who should attend Owners, plant managers, and quality leads at Northwest Louisiana manufacturers who sell (or want to sell) into government and large commercial supply chains. Capacity target is about 30 seats. We can register up to 50 if demand is strong. Seating is limited.

Hosts

• NWLA APEX
• Manufacturing Managers Council of Northwest Louisiana (MMC)
• QMS2GO

Cost: Free. Complimentary lunch sponsored by QMS2GO.

Register now. Bring a colleague who owns the quality conversation at your company.
