About the Event
The Next Generation Rail Supply Chain Connectivity forum was held in Clarion University in Clarion, Pa with 200 attendees. More than 140 were manufacturers who participated in speed networking with large rail equipment manufacturers such as GE Transportation, Siemens, ElectroMotive, Nippon Sharyo and others. The event featured remarks and rousing support for manufacturers in America from Congressman Glenn “GT” Thompson and information from Chief Rolling Stock, Kevin Kesler and Senior Attorney, Linda Martin, of the Federal Railroad Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The event was hosted by the Northwest Industrial Resource Center and Northwest & North Central Partners for Regional Economic Performance (PREP).
