National Network for Manufacturing Innovation Workshop to be held April 25

The first of a series of workshops entitled ‘‘Designing for Impact: Workshop on Building the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation” was announced by the Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office (AMNPO), housed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). The workshop will be April 25, 2012, and will provide a forum for the AMPNO to introduce the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) and its regional components, Institutes for Manufacturing Innovation (IMIs). The workshops will also provide a forum for public discussion of the new initiative, which President Obama announced March 9, 2012. Online registration for the workshop will close April 20.
