The Product Showcase offers attendees hands-on interaction with breakthrough innovations from industry leaders.
Beyond education and exhibition, the 2025 edition will feature the ADM Pathways Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to strengthen both the emerging manufacturing workforce and professionals seeking career advancement. Through structured mentorship opportunities, specialized professional development sessions and strategic networking events, Pathways aims to address workforce gaps and foster career growth within the industry, as the sector continues to age, with a quarter of workers 55 and older.
Canada's manufacturing sector employs over 1.7 million people and shows strong leadership in automation, AI, 3D printing and communication technologies (ICT). Ontario continues to anchor the industry, responsible for nearly 80% of Canada's outbound goods, while the sector's export reach continues to grow across key international markets. As labor markets evolve and global dynamic shift, manufacturers are increasingly focused on building supply chain resilience and investing in workforce development, key themes explored throughout this year's event.
