Illinois has multiple strengths that can lure manufacturing back to the state, but businesses and government leaders can take further steps to encourage expansion. Edlong Dairy Technologies CEO Laurette Rondenet-Smith will join a panel of speakers who will discuss this topic at the second annual Crain’s Midwest Manufacturers Summit, on Tuesday, May 20, at the Swissotel Chicago.
“I look forward to sharing my unique perspectives from the food industry,” said Ms. Rondenet-Smith. “As manufacturers, it’s our job to raise awareness about what needs to be done to keep business from moving to neighboring states.”
The keynote breakfast speaker is Louis Schorsch, CEO of ArcelorMittal Americas. Guest speakers include Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Caralynn Nowinski, CEO of UI labs. Other panelists include Charles Demirjian, president of Tillotson Limited and Barry MacLean, president and CEO of MacLean-Fogg Company.
