The Future of Manufacturing
What can we expect manufacturing to look like in ten years? Twenty years? Will we be able to stop the decline in traditional manufacturing? What strategies must be implemented in education, infrastructure, and manufacturing technology? What policy changes must be made to support our manufacturers of the future? Should Wisconsin implement niche manufacturing strategies? Mr. Poole will address these questions and more.

From the Front Line: What does tomorrow look like?
Moderator: Jim Wood, Wood Communications Group
Jim Wood, the creator of the public policy series "We the People" has shaped this dynamic, interactive session focused on Wisconsin's economic future.
First, hear from labor, business, and local leaders about the problems Wisconsin faces.
Next, hear how the Governor's administration and legislative leaders respond to these concerns.
Finally, it will be up to you, the audience, to decide whether the proposed solutions are sound public policy.
You will have a chance to weigh in. Come with your ideas, your skepticism, and your energy.
