Southwest Virginia Manufacturers' Expo

The Southwest Virginia Manufacturers' Expo brings manufacturers of Southwest Virginia together, along with their vendors/suppliers, in a networking and learning environment. Manufacturers are invited to set up booths/exhibits for their company and get to know other manufacturers and service providers. This event provides an opportunity for Southwest Virginia Manufacturing companies to connect with other manufacturers and vendors to build their supply chain, exhibit their capabilities, develop business opportunities and new customers, and learn about resources available to help strengthen their company.

It is not mandatory to set up a booth/exhibit if you wish to participate.
