Manufacturing Day 2025: Share Your Enthusiasm with IndustryWeek
IndustryWeek invites you to join us October 3 as the nation celebrates Manufacturing Day 2025, with events continuing throughout the month. At IndustryWeek, we’ll be crowdsourcing information for manufacturing essays as well as our annual Faces of Manufacturing celebration. (You can see our complete 2024 Manufacturing Day coverage here.)
Here’s how you can participate in both or either of these Manufacturing Day 2025 opportunities:
Contribute a Manufacturing Essay: If your company has a story to tell for Manufacturing Day, IndustryWeek wants to hear it. Send a thoughtful 300 to 1,000-word write-up to [email protected]. We'll publish submissions throughout the month of October 2025.
Participate in Faces of Manufacturing: We're looking for people with a passion for manufacturing, from the shop floor to the executive office. We're asking people like you — people who love their manufacturing job — to tell us why you love what you do.
If you'd like to be included in Faces of Manufacturing:
- Copy and paste the information requested below, along with your answers, into the body of an email.
- Attach a photograph of yourself at work (landscape/horizontal photographs work best -- and those taken with your phone are OK!)
- Forward the email to [email protected] by Oct. 2, 2025.
