The 2026 MTCE will be Wednesday, October 21 and Thursday, October 22!

Local manufacturers and trade representatives are in attendance providing interactive and engaging displays.

To date, over $80,000 has been raised for scholarships to students going into manufacturing and the trades.  Each year, a portion of the proceeds from MTCE is dedicated to funding education scholarships.
The goal of the MTCE is that high school scholarship recipients return after their education to one of our local partners to begin their careers.
