MMA’s annual Capitol event provides a “hands-on” lobbying experience, connecting members and manufacturing supporters with key policymakers while learning about MMA’s efforts to develop a pro-manufacturing economy.
The full-day experience is a time to champion our ever-evolving industry and advocate for a prosperous future. Michigan’s manufacturers are vital employers, creators and innovators propelling us forward. Together, we shape policy, forge connections and amplify our collective voice to ensure Michigan remains a hub of progress. MMA’s annual event fosters continued collaboration and creates opportunities to advocate for a promising future — fueling the momentum of our industry’s boundless potential.
From pre-registration to the evening reception offers opportunities to network and engage. Join us Thursday, May 14, 2026 in Lansing for this exclusive opportunity to connect with industry advocates, legislative leaders and regulatory officials.
