Built for Mid-Manufacturing Leaders Who Keep Operations Running.

The South Carolina Manufacturing Conference & Expo (SCMCE) brings together leaders, operations professionals, plant managers, engineers, suppliers, and innovators from across the Southeast for two powerful days of education, solutions, networking, and recognition.

Where the Southeast Manufacturing Ecosystem Connects.

Manufacturing doesn’t stop at state lines—and neither do today’s biggest challenges.

From workforce shortages and automation to supply chain pressures, operational efficiency, and innovation, the South Carolina Manufacturing Conference & Expo was built to unite the broader manufacturing ecosystem across the Southeast.

SCMCE serves as a regional meeting ground where manufacturers and the companies that support them come together to exchange ideas, discover solutions, strengthen partnerships, and move the industry forward.
