2024 Makers on the Move Recap
The “Makers on the Move” statewide bus tour wrapped up this past weekend after being on the road from October 4-October 12, after traveling more than 2,500 miles across Illinois to celebrate Manufacturing Month. The tour made roughly 40 stops at manufacturing facilities, educational institutions and community centers to spotlight career opportunities and highlight the industry’s widespread economic contributions.
Hosted by the Illinois Manufacturing Excellence Center (IMEC) and the Illinois Manufacturers' Association (IMA) , the bus tour began at Ace Sign Company in Springfield on Oct. 4, which is recognized as National Manufacturing Day .
Throughout the course of the week, we captured each of the stops in many different ways, from videos to collages, while capturing the full extent of the celebration.
