Hear what more than 100 executives at Pacific Northwest manufacturing companies had to say in our recent survey addressing an array of issues including top challenges, finances, growth, personnel and the competitive landscape. At the conclusion of the event, we will share with you the detailed results of our survey.

The majority of executives responding to our survey were concerned that Oregon was not a business-friendly state. Nik Blosser, Chief of Staff for Gov. Kate Brown will join us for a moderated discussion about Oregon’s business climate and answer audience questions.

The world is changing quickly. Aldrich CPA Carrie Sowdersand Schwabe attorney Jeff Patterson will address the hot issue of the day. They will explain and decode the latest rules coming down the pike while offering tips for tax incentives and other ways to keep money in your company’s pocket. 

By far the most cited challenge facing Pacific Northwest manufacturers in our survey is labor—finding, retaining and training employees. This session will explore innovative techniques to address these concerns.
