2027 MFG Day at MTM - Exhibitor Registration
BE PART OF MFG DAY 2027!
Show What You Make. Inspire What's Next.
February 24–25, 2027 | 8:00 AM – 2:30 PM
Major Tool & Machine | Indianapolis, IN
We're excited to invite you to participate in Major Tool & Machine's annual Manufacturing Day celebration—one of Indiana's largest manufacturing career exploration events!
Last year, we welcomed nearly 1,000 high school students through our doors, connecting them with local manufacturers, industry professionals, and the incredible career opportunities available in modern manufacturing. This year, we're aiming even higher, and we need your help to make the experience unforgettable!
MORE THAN A CAREER FAIR. AN OPPORTUNITY TO INSPIRE.
MFG Day is not a traditional career fair or recruiting event. It's an opportunity to introduce high school students to the people, products, technologies, and career pathways that make manufacturing such an exciting industry. Many of these students are still exploring their interests and considering what life after high school might look like. Your role is to help them discover possibilities they may not have known existed!
We want students to leave thinking, "I had no idea manufacturing could be that cool!"
BRING YOUR INDUSTRY TO LIFE!
We're asking our exhibitors to go beyond the traditional tabletop display and create an experience that sparks curiosity, encourages conversation, and gets students involved.
Here's what we'd love to see:
🔸 Make It Interactive: Bring a hands-on activity, demonstration, challenge, or game that encourages students to participate. Give them something to try, explore, or experience!
🔸 Showcase What You Do: Display interesting parts, products, technology, or equipment that highlight your company's capabilities and the impact of manufacturing.
🔸 Talk Careers, Not Just Jobs: Introduce students to the variety of careers within your organization. Share what those roles involve, the skills they require, and the different pathways students can take to get there.
🔸 Highlight Opportunities: If your company offers internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, or other work-based learning programs, please bring information to share. Students and educators consistently request these resources in our post-event surveys!
🔸 Make It Memorable: Giveaways and promotional materials are always welcome, but we encourage you to pair them with meaningful conversations and engaging experiences.
Our goal is simple: Every student should walk away having learned something new, discovered a potential career path, or experienced something that changes their perception of manufacturing.
