When Ontario manufacturers come together, the conversation shifts from uncertainty to possibility. In an environment where market trends move fast, you need more than data; you need foresight, actionable strategies, and trusted industry connections.

CME’s Ontario Manufacturing Outlook Roadshow is back this October with six stops across the province — Windsor, London, Kitchener‑Waterloo, Brampton, Newmarket, and Peterborough. Every stop on the roadshow includes a keynote economic outlook presentation from CME’s Chief Economist, Alan Arcand. Drawing on the latest data and forecasting, Alan will break down the forces shaping the Canadian and Ontario economies, translating what they mean for manufacturers and setting the stage for a candid, high-value discussion.

More than an economic forecast, this is your opportunity to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and identify actionable next steps for your business.Whether you are navigating global trade pressures, workforce shortages or supply chain disruption, you will leave with a sharper view of the road ahead and valuable connections with manufacturers facing similar realities.

Why attend?

The Manufacturing Outlook Roadshow is built for everyone who works in manufacturing — no matter your role, your company size or where you sit in the operation.

By attending, you will walk away with:

• A clear picture of where the Canadian and Ontario economies are headed and what it means for your manufacturing business

• A stronger sense of where growth opportunities exist so you can position your business to capture them

• Practical strategies to protect your margins, guide your investments and build resilience into your operations

• Honest, peer-to-peer conversations with fellow manufacturers who are navigating the same challenges
