Manufacturing Matters
Celebrate the people, companies and ideas shaping the future of manufacturing in the Greater Spokane Valley at the 2026 Manufacturing Matters Awards Night.
This annual dinner recognizes manufacturers whose leadership, innovation and community investment strengthen our regional economy. Throughout the evening, we will present four Manufacturing Excellence Awards:
- Operational Excellence
- Innovation
- Community Champion
- Manufacturer of the Year
The program will explore how employees at every level contribute to a company’s growth, shape workplace culture and help our locally rooted manufacturers compete nationally and globally.
Join regional manufacturers, business and community leaders, educators and workforce partners as we celebrate industry excellence, highlight meaningful career opportunities and recognize the people and partnerships behind our region’s manufacturing success.
