RCBI is proud to play a role in the nationwide resurgence of manufacturing.<\/p>\n \u201cWe hope to attract a large crowd at each of our statewide Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centers as we celebrate manufacturers, entrepreneurs and innovators in West Virginia.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Weber, events at the Huntington location also will include a Manufacturing Institute Industry Partners Symposium. The symposium will begin at 11:30 a.m. with remarks by U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, followed by networking opportunities and a luncheon.<\/p>\n She added, \u201cThe symposium will strategically connect RCBI\u2019s entrepreneurial manufacturing clients with academic and government experts and other industry partners to discuss current opportunities in manufacturing, identify opportunities for collaboration and learn about current research activities.\u201d<\/p>\n Reservations for those who plan to attend the symposium and luncheon in Huntington are due by 3 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27.
