A Message
from Bill Bissett
On May 4-5, business and elected leaders from across the Mountain State and region will travel to Charleston Coliseum & Conference Center for the 15th Annual Manufacturing & Energy Growth Summit (MEGS). Occurring at a time of historic economic growth here at home, we hope you will join us as we celebrate and gain a better understanding of our two most important economic sectors – manufacturing and energy – as we discuss what is happening now and what is on the horizon.
With billions of dollars of investment either coming online or announced for the near future in West Virginia, it is even more important that we share information, network and hear from experts in their fields. As in the past, certainty is what all businesses want, and that becomes a greater challenge in uncertain times. We have crafted an agenda with subjects dominating corporate boardrooms and newspaper headlines to assist you in your decision making and choosing the best path forward.
As always, we appreciate the value our members and partners place in educational and networking opportunities, and I hope that you will find that this year’s MEGS once again offers both aspects in an accessible and enjoyable environment. We are also grateful to our many Corporate Partners and WVMA MEGS sponsors who make this and our other events possible throughout the year.
