About this event
Registration is open for the 2026 America Makes Members Meeting & Exchange (MMX) set for August 4-5 in Youngstown, OH. MMX is the annual member-centric event.
Who should attend
If you work in additive manufacturing, industrial innovation, or defense-related production, MMX is built for the conversations and connections that move real work forward. - **You’re an America Makes member or active in the ecosystem** and want to make the most of the organization’s annual member-focused gathering. - **You lead or support R&D, engineering, production, or technology strategy** and want a clearer view of where advanced manufacturing is heading next. - **You work in defense, aerospace, or other mission-critical industries** where manufacturing capability, supply chain resilience, and adoption of new processes matter. - **You’re responsible for partnerships, programs, or business development** and want face time with people shaping projects, priorities, and collaboration opportunities. - **You represent industry, government, academia, or a nonprofit** and value being in the room with a cross-section of stakeholders working on shared manufacturing challenges. - **You want more than a general industry event** and prefer a focused, in-person setting in Youngstown where practical discussion, member exchange, and network-building take center stage.
