UMA's 2024 Regional Convening

It is a sunny June day in Michigan, and there is a buzz in the air. The Urban Manufacturing Alliance (UMA) has come to Detroit to bring stakeholders together from across the country for a two-day, on-the-ground event with the goal of creating space for discussion about the issues facing the American manufacturing industry. In past years, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Baltimore, and Houston have all hosted. This year, it’s Detroit’s turn. It seems fitting that the first day will be held at the iconic Carhartt building, where a larger-than-life mural of industrial workers welcomes all into the historic Cass Corridor.
