The Manufacturing Committee of the HIA-LI is having a panel of experts to help you learn more about available technologies and how to decide ideal technologies for your manufacturing company.
Recently, Wall Street Journal has reported that for the first time in U.S. history, manufacturers are hiring more employees with college degrees than employees with none-college-degrees. Hiring for manufacturing is shifting towards higher education. Why is this shift happening?
The answer is technology and the immediate need for digital transformation at any manufacturing organization. In this digital age, manufacturers are trying to benefit from technology more than ever to be more competitive in the workplace. As technology is becoming more important for manufacturing, learning about new technologies is also becoming more important for manufacturing companies in the U.S.
This is the first Manufacturing Committee of HIA-LI meeting in 2020 hosted by Long Island Chapter of IAMCP. Technology Committee of HIA-LI will be with us as well. For more information on the event, proceed to "Register".

Cyber security is extremely important for businesses of every size. A weak cyber security profile puts a company and its employees at risk. Not only are finances and operations affected, cyber attacks diminish your reputation and customers’ confidence. Everyone involved is stressed financially and/or emotionally. For DOD contractors, it also puts the future of its government contracts in jeopardy. (As of January 1 manufacturers with DOD contracts must meet new NIST standards.) In this workshop you will:
- Learn about some of the biggest threats in the cyber security space today - ransomware, phishing, botnets, DDoS, malware, and more.
- Find out what business owners should be looking for and who is responsible for the safety of information.
- Find out how the January 1 deadline for NIST 800-171 Standard relates to manufacturers with DOD contracts.
- Learn about the “Chain of Security” and why a good cybersecurity profile means more than just a strong IT infrastructure.
- Discover why small and medium manufacturers are the #2 most targeted industry by cyber attackers.
- Learn the basics of how to start building a Cyber Security action plan.
The event is free. Registration is required due to limited seating
