Thinking about the great state of Minnesota may conjure up images from Fargo, Vikings games, or shopping 'til you drop at the Mall of America. But did you know that Minnesota is also home to many of the USA's largest manufacturers, including 3M, Protolabs, and Cargill? Fun fact: 17 of the manufacturing industry's Fortune 500 companies call Minnesota home base.

It's no wonder, then, why we chose to host our first ever Salesforce Basecamp for Manufacturing in Minneapolis. Taking place on Thursday, July 19th at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center, we've got a can't miss lineup of manufacturing Trailblazers who will fill you in on all the latest trends, challenges, and innovations facing the industry. Register today - it's free!
