Welcome to the WVMEGS
The West Virginia Manufacturers Association is proud to host this year’s Manufacturing Energy Growth (MEG) Summit, formerly the Marcellus and Manufacturing Development Conference. This regional event brings together manufacturing and energy leaders, state and local officials, economic development professionals, and friends of industry and energy from West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Summit attendees will explore the broader intersections of manufacturing and energy from power generation to downstream manufacturing development through feedstocks created by oil & natural gas and rare earth extraction.
Experts will provide updates and new information on a variety of issues relating to manufacturing and energy. The MEG Summit is a time to work together to identify challenges and opportunities in these industries, and to formulate crucial regional strategies to expand manufacturing and energy development throughout Appalachia.

From the President
On May 5-6, business and elected leaders from across the Mountain State and region will travel to Oglebay Resort for the 14th Annual Manufacturing & Energy Growth Summit (MEGS). Join us as we celebrate and learn more about our two most important economic sectors – manufacturing and energy – as we discuss what is happening now and what is on the horizon.
As both West Virginia and the United States are in a time of tremendous political change, it is even more important that we share information, network and hear from experts in their field. Certainty is what all businesses want, and that becomes a greater challenge in uncertain times. We crafted an agenda with subjects dominating corporate boardrooms and newspaper headlines to assist you in your decision making and choosing the best path forward.
As always, we appreciate the value our members and partners place in educational and networking opportunities, and I hope that you will find that MEGS offers both aspects in an accessible and enjoyable environment. We are also grateful to our Corporate Partners and WVMA MEGS sponsors who make this and other events possible.
