Central Florida's Volusia Manufacturing Association is hosting the Third Annual Small Manufacturers Expo September 24,2009. Volusia and Flagler County Small Manufacturers are encouraged to participate to promote their skills and talents.

Volusia Manufacturers Association (VMA) is proud to host Volusia and Flagler Counties Third Annual Small Manufacturers Expo 2009. According to Expo organizers, the Small Manufacturers Expo is designed to give local manufacturing, purchasing, employment, and technological organizations and associations an opportunity to showcase their talents and skill and to promote and secure business opportunities. This year's event will be held in the Volusia Room at the Daytona Beach International Airport on September 24, 2009 from 4:30 - 7:00 P.M.

Manufacturers can purchase a table at the event for $75 to showcase their products and services. There will be time for small manufacturers to meet new customers, interact with potential new vendors and suppliers, and connect with local area manufacturers. At 5:00 P.M, Ken Roberts of Dale Carnegie will be presenting a discussion on fresh and innovative techniques for Effective Networking. Price of admission is $25, which includes dinner with the presentation.

"With the Manufacturing and Retail Industries having continual declining employment due to the economic times, it's more important than ever to pull together to support each other. The Small Manufacturers Expo allows local companies to draw on local manufacturing skills and talent to support local businesses and the local economy," says Jayne Fifer, President/CEO of the Volusia Manufacturers Association.

The Volusia Manufacturers Association has been dedicated to supporting local Manufacturing Companies for almost 30 years. The last two Manufacturing Expos have been quite successful showcasing a variety of Volusia and Flagler County companies and capabilities with over 50 companies participating on average. The Expo supports the VMA's Mission to provide information, education and networking opportunities for the manufacturers in Volusia County and the region.
